Default Removeing CA Hinges

How do you remove CA Hinges once they have been glued in there place for who knows how long? I am repairing a older GP cub.


Thanks Matt [8D]

YA HOO for KC 135... I thought I was the only one doing that !!!! LOL...... Seems to me that when the CA saturated the hinge the first time (we hope) that it wouldn't allow the debonder to get very far in releasing the hinge.

I recently replaced the CA Hinges on the GP Super Sportster 60 you see in my avatar. I just used a hobby knife to slice them free, top and bottom on both surfaces and pulled them out. Yes I took out a "little" wood that was still hanging on, but most were easy enough to pull out. Mian thing is be careful with the knife and not cut and an angle into the wood if possible. I replaced with GP nylon hinges and they fit very well.

Might be better to put them in beside the old ones. Getting the old ones out may be a pain
