One 95 Runner Change?

Ok, probably a dumb question.... I used a socket wrench 5/16" to take off the little bolt that kind of looks like what would go on the air valve of a tire. What else do I need to do to get the runner off?

Nothing. The front is a hook. Slide the blade forward while pulling it away from the skate downward (think 45* angle). Pull from the middle or front of the steel, don't simply pull the back of the steel down. It slides in and out. If it's stuck grab the boot by the tendon guard (NOT the guard though) and give the steel a good whack on a rubber mat by swinging the boot. Use caution of course.

Man, I feel so dumb right now. But, any tips on getting that nut back on the screw to tighten it back up?

hold the boot upside down...this way the nut doesn't fall into the hole. It also helps that your wrench is magnetized so it clings onto the nut. It takes a bit of fiddling around to get the nut to line up though, but i've found that this way works the best

Yeah I guess I have to just keep trying. Holding the boot upside down seems like the only way to go. Thanks.
