I doubt that he'll understand your advice without elaboration.

There is a crown removal system where you drill a hole in each
crown and thread a screw into that hole. Turning the screw
*usually* pops the crowns loose. I just can't think of the name
off hand.

I have had very poor results trying the old 'gear puller' device
to remove crowns cemented with newer type cements.

If it's a bridge that I have cemented with Rely-X, (luckily a
very rare occurence) I usually just get out a bur and start cutting.

I have used this instrument with reasonably good success. It doesn't
always work, but is better than the back-action hammers or Richwill
crown removers, for sure. I've often used them for exactly the
application you need it for. I find that I use it maybe once a week.
