SEA wagons

[scouse889]

Does anyone who has these wagons happen to know if the NEM pocket is removable from the wagon without completely disintegrating it? For whatever reason it is a "bespoke" design and when I try to fit replacement Hunt Couplings they are loose in the pocket. I was hoping I could maybe replace them with the stadard Hornby/Bachmann pockets as the recesses on the boiges looks the same shape. I've had a go at trying to ease the pockets out of the recesses with a small screwdriver but the normal amount of pressure required on a Hornby or other Bachmann wagon or coach doesn't budge them, and I don't really want to knacker the bogies on a £40 wagon! Any advice greatly appreciated.

The NEM pockets on this are about twice the standard thickness. I just superglued Hunt Couplings in.
