Sure & easy way method ® 07/09/2009
| See in the picture the tools you need for the job. We propose an easel as support because it is cheap, but you can use whatever you might have at home if you think it is better. Tools: 1 carpenter’s hammer, 1 diagonal cut pliers, 1 end cut pliers. | ||

Picture 2 | Select the right tips. To do so go to Shapes and Sizes and select the most appropriated. In case of doubt use the smaller. Now you can go and buy them in THE SHOP.

| First, take the plastic frame off by pulling from one side as it is shown in the video and picture 3. | ||

|
| |
| Second, now you have the metal pivot free, if possible then grab it with the diagonal cut pliers as shown in picture 4. Note that the pliers must be placed with the edge face up. So, the flat side of the pliers has to face the tip and must be in a right angle with the tip; otherwise, it can damage that part of the tip which has a wrong contact with the pliers. | ||

| |
| If there is no room for the diagonal cut pliers then first hold it with the end cut pliers and press gently just to note that the pivot has come out a bit or that there is already room to hold it with the diagonal cut pliers, as seen in the video or picture 5. | ||

| Fourth, you have already chosen the right tip, now place it into the heel, with your own hands, pushing down to the bottom but keeping the shape of the tip in line with the shape of the heel as shown in the picture 8. | ||
