How easy is it to remove a socket? Do you have to press the pin, or can you just pull it off? The hog ring version doesn't seem to be available.

I have to use a small pick to get the socket off if I line it up with the hole in the socket. If there is no hole in the socket you can pull it off with some resistance.

I don't think its possible, you need the original key to rotate the plug in the barrel and remove it, otherwise, I think the pins in the plug would get jammed up (I could be wrong however, there may be a way to jimmy the plug out of the shell!). I'd strongly suggest watching the video on YouTube (just search on PrimeLine rekey)...the instructional video is awesome and makes for a quick, easy task. Good luck!

I believe this will fit size-wise. However, depending on the position of the sensor, you may not have room to use this socket and might need to use an offset version. You'll need to see how much room you have before purchasing the removal socket. it's definitely worth taking the few minutes so you don't wind up buying 2 different sockets.

Well my friend you got 2 choices, either you buy a key or you use a socket that will just fit snuggly and hit it lightly with a hammer and just twist it off

Yes, the pins can be removed, just not very easily! I had no luck getting them out by using a screw driver and trying to angle the pin loose at at the top. I was able to find a very small screwdriver whose head I was able to fit through the opening on the bottom of the hinge, and through some heavy pounding with a hammer I was able to get the pin out. It took a lot of force to remove the pin, which was most evident when the pin flew all the way across the room and hit the wall when it finally came out.

They snap in real good I pull and twist the yellow ring on it makes it tougher to plug and unplug I just removed mine, actually lost it to be honest and is easier. Not a very good design I wished it screws in like previous ones.

Hog ring in this application is a steel ring on the shank or on the part where you put the socket. detent pin is a small, spring loaded pin in the side of the shank. Both are for the purpose of securing the socket to the shank of the impact wrench. The detent pin has to line up with the hole in the socket for it to work.

Hi Brad, (1) It does not have a quick release head- basic 1/4" threaded stud with plastic turn key attached under the mounting plate. (2) I tried to remove the head but it looks like I might damage the plastic ring that goes around the center post. But after removing the threaded bolt and that tightens the pan-lock it looks like the head could be removed byby inserting some kind of chisel/tool between the pan-lock ring and expanding it out of the groove at the top of the center post. I'm just not convinced that the plastic pan-lock ring won't break in the process. So yes you could remove the head and I assume Slik has other heads that would fit this post. Good luck-Michael M.

Yeah, just be sure you do not push the pin all the way out. Check out a youtube video. There is several good ones that show how it is done.

Yes, it was really easy. I have one pair that I removed two links from. All you need is a thin flat head screw driver and a pair of pliers to remove the small pin, cut off two end links and then replace the small pin. They work great!

You can't just pull pin. It's hammered in with a lock nut. If you buy their locks for the pins on the arm too it's almost impossible to open without forcing it and breaking it. It is secure and in manual they have you hammer pin in to locking washer with block of wood and hammer. See instructions but not very easy to take off once installed. you could use a more secure pin but it needs to move freely in locking collar since temperatures fluctuate. It locks up nice and no way to force it plus collar hold gate up if someone tries to stand on gate this kit WILL protect the gate and hinges by absorbing the weight of the idiot standing on the gate. A much less thing to fix overall than new hinges and a bent gate arm...so I still love the lock.

you don't really need a special wrench or socket - just disconnect the wires before attempting to remove the sensor - you'll have to disconnect it anyway to put in the new one. be sure to use anti-seize on the new one, but do it in a way that will prevent it getting on the sensor. you MAY have to chase the threads in the header/exhaust - i used an 18mm x 1.5 tap. a 7/8 wrench is a tadge loose but should work unless it's really seized - it's really 22mm. you DO NOT want to round off the hex part of the old one. this answer is 5 mo after the question, but maybe someone else will benefit from it. you don't really need a special wrench or socket - just disconnect the wires before attempting to remove the sensor - you'll have to disconnect it anyway to put in the new one. be sure to use anti-seize on the new one, but do it in a way that will prevent it getting on the sensor. you MAY have to chase the threads in the header/exhaust - i used an 18mm x 1.5 tap. a 7/8 wrench is a tadge loose but should work unless it's really seized - it's really 22mm. you DO NOT want to round off the hex part of the old one. this answer is 5 mo after the question, but maybe someone else will benefit from it.

Just tried to pop mine off, it IS permanent . Sure you could disassemble it with tools, but it does not just unplug or anything. Hope this helps.

Just pull it with a small pliers. It should come out. It is just clipped not soldered

Looking at the picture, it is all one piece...there are no other attachments. The 'socket' is on a swivel ball joint to the extension shaft which goes on YOUR 3/8 ratchet. There is an internal magnet that holds the sparkplug in place when removing the old or installing the new one.

There are two side mounted "holders" which must be pried open to pull old switch off the socket. Then you insert new switch which will fit precisely into the socket with direction specific placement of the flat tip contacts. If there is no socket because it was cut off you will have to put clips on each wire. Good luck finding out which wires go to which tip contacts on the new switch. I have never been able to fine an exact wiring diagram that helped me to trace were each wire should go. There is at least two tips that have just a wire bridge between them and no wire to some other destination.

Best to detach watch band from watch (I didn't) ... lay band flat with arrows on back of band going away from the device that will be pushing the pin out. Be careful to line up the pin that is pushing to the hole in the watch band (try this only on links that have an arrow) .. turn handle to push pin out of the link (if lined up, comes out easily) ... My first pin came out easily, then I broke 4 pins trying to get the next pin out to remove the link, because I didn't have it lined up right. the pins will break if not lined up properly. After getting 2 pins out and removing the link, replace one pin to reconnect the links (push in and then tap in until it is in all the way and you are done. there seems to be another knob on the side that I'm not sure how to use or what the purpose is unless it is to finely adjust the position, so you can line up the pin to push it out. Be patient and be sure to line it up or you will break the pins, like I did. I was cautious with the last one (because I only had one left) and got the job done. If this instruction doesn't help enough, I would suggest searching on-line and you should be able to find a video showing exactly how to use the device to remove this type of watch link.
