Help! - How do I remove a fast tech hana 510 connector??

I just forced the nut on, it didn't want at first so I gave it a good whack with wooden spoon

You can just drill the hole bigger, tap it for a varitube or fat daddy and skip the nut.

Good to know waiting for hana to be in my hand fitting both for another member
Knew it would be tight have FDV to try also but they are in work and top cap is deeper
May heat shrink switch body

(Edit: where it comes out of the 510 bend it 90 degrees, about 5mm them bend it 90 degrees again) I take a piece (10mm maybe) of solid core copper 16g (think thats 1.2-1.3) and solder it to the positive 510 pin then heat shrink it, bend it around the switch and the solder it to output + wire. Its still going to hit the switch so I machine it flat to the pins (Edit: Machine the button).

(Edit: button hole) You can move the new hole down about 0.4mm and it will give you a little extra space.

Easier to do it with fat daddy because the spring in it is much stronger. I did about 10+ of these last month and still got 2 left to do.

Cheers for the advice all. I managed to get the old connector out. Just need to tap, solder and fit the new 510.. I went for the varitube in the end

Remember varitube have fine threads, m10x0.5mm I think.

It's all fitted now and is NOT going to be moving. Next all I need to do is to drill out the screw holes so I can fit the magnets....... one thing at a time though lol. Some gaffa tape is doing the job holding the back on for the moment and it's currently sitting at 18.5 watts with the kayfun/Russian 91% hybrid (@ 0.8ohms) full of space jam's Starlight 1.. That space jam is some tasty juice!!!!!!
