I have instructions and diagrams for installing the uni-lock pin and insert. What instructions can you give me for removing the existing pin and insert.

Thanks, Jim

Jim, it's easy. Take a small propane torch and heat the pin, [be sure to keep away from the shafts joint or cues joint] back it out with channel locks or whatever you have handy. The "insert", place the heated pin [ re-heat the pin after removing it from the cue] and screw the pin into the insert and let it sit for a few minutes to let the heat break down the glue. Then back it out. You might have to lock another insert [ or a nut] to the insert in the shaft to keep it from not backing out. clean up the holes re-bore and install the new stuff.

Thanks, Blud. ;)

Thanks Blud

I have been wondering about that myself. I have only removed butt plates with leather. It seems like a slow process, but you have to let the heat penetrate. Thanks for the tip.
