Default Pleacing an Easton Tracer Nock?

Does any body here can let me know how to remove the flat nock of the arrows in order to place an easton tracer nock? I haven’t been able to remove the original nock, it’s too tight

Tks. Arturo.

Screw a wood screw into the nock and put a locking pair of vice grips onto the wood screw. Then wiggle and pull out the nock. No heat is usually required to remove them in this manner. It worked for me when I put inmy tracer nocks. Hope this helps.

I use a drill smaller than the ID of the arrow and drill thru the nock. The friction and heat from the drill will melt the glue and not hurt the shaft...you can just grab the remains and pull it out with some needle nose plyers

Or, gently heat the nock using a heat gun (used for stripping paint) to melt the glue. Apply the heat to the nock while slowly tuning the arrow. When a slight 'shine' shows around the nock, try gently turning it with some pliers. If it turn, pull it out. If not try a bit more heat.

Raw Gold Tip shafts come bare (no vanes) but with brass inserts and your choice of nocks, neither of which are glued in. When one orders custom arrows, you specify length, choice of nocks, inserts and size of vanes. Bow-brand arrows (Parker, Excal, Ten Point, etc) come with the nock the bow manufacturer specifies (e.g. Parker uses moons, the other two use flat), specific length (18 to 22") as well as the vanes they prefer, generally 4".

GT moons are not glued in only press fit. They have a hole in back so they can be turned with a hex wrench to match the cock feather. Makes them very easy to remove.
