Dont know of any other way.

The Predator guy at a huge event last summer told me to use a fork, it worked
Worked great, just can't show the wife what the fork looks like now lol

I had the same issue, that fork is hiding in my tool bag
This thread gave me enough inspiration to make myself a tool for adjusting the weight on my BK and my girlfriends Predator sport ice.
If interested in the dimension for it, reach out to me via PM and I'll share.
Works like a dream, and took me a whole 20 minutes to do at home

It was sacrificed to a just cause.
The rubber bumper screws out.
My Pred Sneaky has an allen head bolt. I've never had it out to see if it has a weight bolt.

The weight bolt system is the thing I like the most about them.
You can buy an 18 oz cue and make it weigh almost anything
from 18 oz to 20 oz!!!
No other cue can do this.
Really an excellent way for people who are starting out and learning
what works for them in terms of weight.
Certainly a whole heck of a lot cheaper than buying 30 cues that weigh
anything from 18 to 20 oz. All that for under 70 bucks. I call it a bargain.
I wonder if any of these are the correct size?

Thanks didn't think they can be screwed out, I was trying to pull it straight out
Will try it tonight.
I re-purposed a two prong fork from a Shellfish utensil set for this task. The weight bolt on my BK-3 backs out half a turn and starts to rattle occasionally. I may try using some low strength, purple loctite on the threads to prevent it from re-occurring next time it happens.

Pred also makes an extension that uses those threads.
If you can find them locally. Take out the weight bolt and run a 5/8x18 tap down there and convert it to standard. It's that close in size.

Loctite purple (222) is not a good solution for this. It relies upon the presence of copper (in virtually all metals) and absence of air to set, so while it may set on the screw, I expect it would not set well, if at all, on the wood.
Loctite threadlockers are also not good to have on most plastics.
