Goes back, buys even more expensive compressor with larger tank, then returns it after wife and neighbors complains about the noise.
Thinks wistfully about the simplicity of a long thin screwdriver and citrus cleaner...
Well, pancake compressors run less than $200, so you missed my joke about the OP spending more money than planned at Ace. haha
Hey, our bike shop did this countless times to remove grips. I worked there when kids clamored to BMX. Before mountain biking!
Your solution will likely work, of course. Air compressors come in handy for so many other tasks, like airing car tires and painting stuff.
