Removing the Threaded Conical Bolt If the nail will not be locked proximally, remove the Insertion Handle assembly. Use the pin wrench to loosen the Locking Nut one-half turn. While holding the Insertion Handle firmly, remove the conical bolt with the Combination Wrench or the Cannulated Socket Wrench.
If the nail will be locked, the Insertion Handle, Threaded Conical Bolt and Locking Nut remain on the nail. The Insertion Handle must be oriented medially to place the proximal locking bolts, and should be reoriented to that position if necessary.
