kipstar Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Ok so now I am on a roll pestering u guys for advice. As part of the change to a slightly softer setup I am trying to remove the racetongues on my indys and change back to std. This means undoing the allen key screw, and one boot was easy. Second boot. Not easy. I believe the nut inside the boot the teeth which grip into the plastic must be snapped as the whole thing spins when turning the screw. Wd40makes no difference and it is almost impossible to get any tool onto the recessed flange nut on the inside. One option is to drill it out, but I cannot easily get replacements screws particuklarly the one on the inside. Other option might be to get a slot into the. Bolt but as I said cannot get a replacement There is no chance of finding someone locally who is a boot fitter. Should I stick with the race tongues and blue spring bts or is there another way? I used to ride in ski boots so at the beginning the indys seemed soft but now as I get older and if I go to a new board I am thinking maybe softer is better.

pokkis Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 So di you checked if problem is with nut in inside of boot or with screw on outside (hex screw driver slot) ? If on inside then turn one of wings on nut so you can hold it with pliers, if on nut then dremmel slot and use regular screw driver to open.
