Title: How to get factory insert out of a WW?
Post by: MikeW on November 13, 2008, 10:18:00 AM
Anyone done this? I'd like to take the factory insert out of some Woodsmen's I have. What are they in there with? Epoxy?
TIA

it's mounted with an industrial epoxy like jb weld, just heat and pull, heat and pull, till it breaks loose.

you might try boiling them instead of a direct heat though I am not sure this will work with epoxy?

Naw, the boiling doesn't get hot enough. Heat the insert only and have big pliers on the head to act as a heat sink. Got to be careful not to over heat the broadhead steel or you'll ruin it's temper and lose yours!  :) ....O.L.
