nock removal from carbon arrows

[archer66]

The drill bit method works like a charm....I have 24 arrows that came with my bow and none of them weighted the way I want them.  18 or so of them amazingly have eclipse broadheads ....brand new unused...on them.  Most of the broadheads I was able to remove by hand but four I couldn't get to break loose...he use just a bit of glue on them.  I decided to try the drill bit method and the impact broke loose the glue and I was able to screw the broadheads out.  Then I went ahead and used the drill bit method to tap out the inserts.  Now I'm ready to cut and install points once I finish bare shaft tuning.

As KSDan and ChuckC said running a drywall screw in works great.

My GT nocks are glued in with Gorilla Glue (the clear cyanocrylate).
I just run the screw in, gently heat the screw with a lighter, and then let everything cool down.

Another 1/8 turn of the screw and the nock comes out. Been doing it for years and have never had a problem. I have a few arows that have had 7 or 8 nocks replaced each.

I'm glad that the nocks came out for you... I have thought about trying blue Loctite on nocks but I never actually tried it. I use the blue Loctite on all of my gun smithing work due to the fact that it holds very well but breaks loose easily with just a little force.
