Hellbent touring plug removal
How do you take the plugs out of the touring holes on hellbents? The K2 website says to use a flathead screwdriver but there isn't even a spot to use a flathead on the plugs. I tried getting it off with a butter knife but had no luck. Any ideas?

Screwdriver up against the middle of the plug, then tap the screwdriver with a hammer.

Shove it up your ass and cough. If that doesn't work, try your vagina.

There's a hole for the screw driver on the base layer side of the ski. If its not there, look harder.

Yeah, I've now gone at it with a flathead screwdriver, like the k2 site suggests, and a chisel.
I'm thinking that it either screws out, pops out or just doesn't come out. There definitely is not a spot to twist with a flathead
When I try twisting the part of the plug on the upside part of the ski, with pliers, the bottom part twists as well. So I'm pretty sure it doesnt screw off.
I tried a chisel on the top part but it seems like the top part of the plug is just bending, so I'm thinking it doesn't pop either.
This is the 2009 hellbent

Patronize your local ski shop before you hurt yourself.

I just looked at my sons. He has the black and red ones sometime around that year. I do not think they are touring plugs. Two are rivets that hold on the Hellbent name on the tips and on the tail the K2 logo. But if you want them off just ski them hard. He has ripped off one Hellbent and the other is hanging by a rivet.

can you drill out a bigger hole with a holesaw?
man, if there was ever a time for one of those extra holes threads to pop up in GS, I know most were for binding holes, but maybe there are a few touring holes kicking around???... jfost is really ignorant, he often just needs simple facts laid out for him...

Hey man, I have some unwanted rivet holes on my Seth's that I would be willing to trade... they were far too small for the skin I have been trying to put in, but it sounds like they may work well for you. PM me for details.

For sure, you have to be lost to find a place that can't be found, elseways everyone would know where it was
