Bungie Replacement Tips??

[diverkun]

I am trying to replace my wife's nylon straps on her pros with the bungie kit - I am having a devil of a time removing the original nylon sraps. Does anyone have any tips on breaking the Loctite seal?
- if I cannot break the seal by striking it, can I snap it by applying a c-clamp or other method?

Try a little heat - a few seconds with a lighter flame against the screw will normally break the Loctite.

The key is to find the right wrench to clamp and isolate the bushing while allowing you access to the screw head. This video shows the use of a modified Vice Grips.

Thanks TN and Blair -
the Youtube video was helpful - the vice grip positioning and the wrist snap with the wrench did the trick!
