Default RE: CA Hinge Removal


ORIGINAL: CastorTroy2150

So I am not new to building or flying, but I am new to removing CAhinges. I have removed them like 3 minutes after they were installed with debonder, but never longer then that..... How the heck can I get them out, taking my old Trainer making her a taildragger and covering her in fabric. Will paint her in Olive Drab like some sort of Scout plane... I need to get the stupid Hinges out. Should I replace with the nylong hinges after? Any help would be great
Most recommendations I've seen call for you to just cut them and leave them in due to the high probability of damaging the wings and/or control surfaces trying to get them out. Cut them flush, and then cut new slots just next to them for the new hinges.
