Do you have to remove old cane tip? If you do, how is it done?

I believe cane & crutch tips are removable. Just pull the old rubber tip off and replace it with the new one. The fit is very snug, so it will be hard to put the new one on. You may want to twist & turn the old one off.

Yes you do have to remove the old cane tip. If it won't pull off my husband cuts it with a knife, be very careful

Yes you will need to take the old tip off. You just need to pull it kinda of hard and it should pop right off.

Yes, the old cane tip has to be removed. If it is on too tight to pull off then you have to take a knife or box cutter and split it in half. Make sure you cut away from your body so the knife does not slip and cut you. Then you can clean off the cane where the tip was before you put on the new cane tip.

Just insert the bottom of the cane into the hole of the tip. It's pretty easy to do.

You just insert the cane into the opening, just like any rubber tip that can be put on a crutch. Whether it fits will depend upon the measurement of the tip of your cane. You should see if the dimensions of the cane tip are mentioned on the ad. For my husband's cane, since it was not the size of the tip, he had to shave down the end of his cane so it would fit.

There are several online videos that show how. Remove old guide with a sharp razor. Attach new guide in position with a small dab of hot glue. Wrap each leg of the guide with nylon string and then coat with a clear epoxy. The string and epoxy can be bought on Amazon. I did several guides on several rods and it turned out great the very first time. Good luck.

Comes with a standard small round rubber cane tip. I changed the tip to a squarish pod tip which gave me greater stability. Loved that tip, but the rubber crumbled. I replaced it with another tip made of rubber and plastic, which held up well for several months with heavy use but now the plastic has worn down on the corners and the cane can skid on wet/snowy surfaces. Either of those tips allowed the cane to stand alone. If the cane fell over, I could step lightly on an edge and pop it back upright. This cane was so helpful for pre-surgery use and recovery from my total hip surgery.

You do not use glue on the cane. The cane is wrapped around itself to hold it. If you do a search on "caning" on the net, there are some good You Tube videos to show you how. If you need to re-glue the arms or legs there are 2 choices: if the joints fit tight are removing the old glue, a good wood glue like Titebond works well; if the joints are not tight use a hide glue or poly glue that expands to tighten the joint.

YES, it needs to be removed, it was a bit hard too. Did not know this before so I didn't have good tools to use for the removal.

if you're asking how to remove the tip clip, it can be done with a small blade screwdriver or tip of scissors. Google something like "Locklace tip clip instructions" and you'll see a how-to U Tube video on this.

Put the cane tip in the sink or a bucket of hot water, let it soak for a few, than put on the floor with your feet on each side of tip and pull. it should come off.

They just slide over the bottom after you remove your old tips. The best way is to get them started the take the crutch like your going to use it to walk and give it a good push towards the floor.

Super easy. I did it myself. You pry off the cane tip, press the cane into the Quadpod, use the allen wrench that comes with it, and tighten it. Done!

If the tip is similar, yes. It goes screwed on. It's works on any original cane. The best And makes it easy to pick up the cane you don't have to bend if it tips over by accident

you can take it to a hardware store, car mechanic, etc. someone that has saw/cutting equipment and take bottom tip off, measure correctly cut it to size and replace the cane tip and wahlah it is done, remember measure twice and cut once.....my grandchildren call the lucite cane my "fairy godmother wand"....

The tip does just slide over the end of the cane. Even if the cane shaft seems too big, you may need to apply a bit of olive oil, WD40, or your favorite lubricant to both the end of the cane, and the inside of the tip.

I have a similar cane & I disliked the clicking sound mine was making so I put some electrical tape around the moving areas & the adjustment holes & it put an end to it! Just a tip...

You pull the rubber tip off your cane and slide the quad tip on the cane. It is is very sturdy and adds minimal weight to the cane.
