Heat from a hair dryer for 10-15 min, then pop them out. Wakemakers has a great video on their site.

My bags were not glued from the factory. I think the heat from the engine was heating the fitting on the v drive bags and they would pop out to the bags after an hour or so on the water.
Then I glued them and have had no problems since.2018 Max with a little extra weight here and there

The plastic threaded adapter was popping out from the bag's threaded insert. After a couple of times the threads were marred a bit and seemed to pop even more often.
A small amount of PVC cement and the fittings have never popped out again.2018 Max with a little extra weight here and there

I wonder if its a design flaw on Fly Highs part, since a threaded coupling should never be able to pop straight out, unscrew is a different issue.

you actually "pop" out the ones that are glued in from the factory ofter you heat them up a bit with a hair dryer.

Hmmm one would think that would ruin the threads on the bags? No?

only when one makes the mistake of using a heat gun instead of a hair dryer and leaves it pointed at the bag until their daughter asks, "Is it supposed to be smoking?"
BTW - I have a factory bag for sale. CHEAP!

Reviving this older thread.... I got my bag inserts today ( I chose not to try and remove the ones from the factory bags until I had spares). I started off just trying to thread them in, then went to the tape. I read somewhere here that o-ring seal is a good idea. I didn't have that but the tsunami pump connection that came with the sacs had some grease on there rings so I applied a bit of that to the o ring and screwed it in. Now here is the weird part.... I tightened the bottom valve but it turns indefinately ( like its stripped) but I don't feel it resetting as I would expect. I filled the bag with air and tested with soapy water (no bubbles = no leaks). I am waiting for the weather to clear up so I can really test them but it just seems odd to me that I can keep turning this by hand...
Anyone experience this? Any ideas?
Thanks,2012 Mojo2.5
