Hi, I want to swap fins over on my board. The board has a deep tuttle box. What is the correct method to get the old fin out. I have undone the screws, but the fin is in pretty tight. Thought I'd better get some advice as the manufacturer only seems to have info on how to put the fins in, not how to get then out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Cover the fin esp. trailing edge with t-shirt and wiggle it... ...just a little bit
but M6 thread with about 5mm engagement into a brass nut will take about a tonne of force before stripping the thread. The Brass inserts can be replace easily enough though.
Just buy two long thread hex-head M6 bolts (with a length at least 4-5cm longer than the screws that were used to secure the fin) and thread them tightly into the holes so that the threaded ends of the bolts seat up against the end of the holes in the fin, then tap each bolt head with a metal hammer (not too hard though, just alternate tapping from one bolt head to the other until head of fin releases from box).
