How to Replace your LT5 Tips

To replace the tips, the best method is to heat the pole using a hair dryer or heat gun. Wrap the pole in a towel, place it in a squeeze vise, then gently tap the tips off with a hammer and pry bar. Avoid twisting them off, as this could damage the carbon fiber. Alternatively, you can carefully use the edge of a utility knife to slice or carve the tip away, being careful not to cut into the carbon, then pull the tip off.

To attach the new tips, apply a small amount of super glue or a similar cyanoacrylate adhesive. Once applied, tap the pole on a hard surface to securely seat the tip.
