Question Removing SPG from Peregrine console

[benha]

Dumb question:

I want to install a QD in my Peregrine console, and (1) the design of the boot makes it nearly impossible to get a wrench on the hose to remove it while it's in the boot, and (2) the boot is rigid enough I'm worried I'm going to break something trying to remove the SPG with the hose attached.

Anyone removed one of these before?

Thanks,
-Ben

Nevermind. Hairdryer for the win.

On my oceanic console I use a metal shoe horn to pop the SPG out. I don't have this conse but it might work

I was going to suggest soaking in very hot water for 30 min.

Hot water (not boiling) for just 1 minute, then take it out and bend the boot backwards. Same for installing and removing the computer. Don't burn yourself!
