How to remove 510 connection on a Bolt?

So I'm trying to refinish and buff-up the internals of an old Bolt I have laying around as a weekend project. I yanked out all the internals but I can't get the 510 connection out. I thought I could just push it out but that doesn't seem to be the case. Anyone have any tips?

 

I believe [MENTION=6937]MickeyRat[/MENTION] has taken the bolts apart, as he did replace switches on them, maybe he will help you

 

Whiskey calls and I answer! I never tried to take out the connector. It really looked like it was glued in like everything else with hot glue. I used a hair dryer to soften the glue and get the switch and wiring out. That might work on the connector.

 

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. I hope I can get it out because I've already mangled it up. I'd hate to have to junk this thing.

if ya do mangle,mess it up you can get replacement parts over at madvapes

 

yeah, but if I can't get the 510 connection out I think I might be screwed.

 

if push comes to shove ?? you could drill out the old fitting and push in a new 510 connector easy enough

 

Didn't even consider that, sounds a lot easier. Thanks!

 

go easy on the drill bit size,,when ya get down close ,you should be able to pry whats left out of there

 

What about ye olde center punch and a mallet? :laugh:

I'd probably just dremel tha sucker though. Much easier to control.
