I'm relatively new to model rocketry and have a problem that many of
you have encountered before.

I have two problem rockets, one which has an estes A3-4T stuck in it
and another has an estes A8-3 stuck in it. I have tried poking them
out with dowels from the top, I have tried pulling them out with
pliers. Whats the best way to do it. I don't want to apply any
pressuse to the rocket tube because it will crack the paint finish (I
already have done that). I have thought of drilling them out with a
wood drill bit between my fingers but that seems too much like hard
work.

You might be able to get needle nosed pliers through the end of the motor
wall and un-wrap it from the inside out. Takes ages and makes a bit of a
mess, but you get there in the end ;)
