Help- bent the bolt holder

[forrest-hunter]

Rope cocker slipped out of hand while decocting my Ibex - bent the bolt holder beyond repair - how difficult is it to replace - will call tomorrow Excalibur for replacement - thanks for your help -

Two screws hold retainer on top of trigger unit.
Remove scope and swap retainer then verify POI.

The four small screws that hold the scope mount can be very tight make sure you use a tite fitted hex head (allen )because it's easy to round out the hex hole.

You've gotten solid advice but I'd like to know how you bent the arrow retainer when you decocked.
You could just bend it back using Google pictures as a guide assuming it isn't torn up.

I misspoke -I bent it by improperly cocking - didn't get cord in groove -bought new - have never had a problem until now

Joe is right, those screws can be a bugger. I highly reccomend heating them with a soldering iron before you attempt removing them.

Heating will help with breaking any loctite bond for sure. I remove the scope, beat in a magnetic bit to seat it all the way and then bear down on it as I am cranking it out. Using a 1/4" ratchet works best.
