kobblers Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 We've noticed that a lot of the high heels, now, especially the ones with 0.95 and 101 pin tubes have a reinforcing rod inside. What's the best way to extract these or drill them as the heel has worn down too far, sometimes, to take a new pin.? I'm reluctant to use electric pliers on them as the heels are usually bloody thinner than a waif on a diet. Cheers. Rick. mrelf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Am92 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 What I do is scour 2-3mm the side of the tube and gently apply a little heat, not so the block starts melting. Gently teist and out it comes. I tend to remove the reinforcing pin and cut it half before reattaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCityShoes Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 If you’re lucky, some will knock through the insole and can be pulled out from the inside, or they may even just knock down to the bottom of the tube. Other than that, a cup of cold water and a high quality drill bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
