Default removing adapters

Ordered some snazzy CPE adapters, so my glued in cheapskate Junfac plastic ones will have to be removed. Any advice for a quick way to remove glued in plastic hexes?

if there is a little shoulder on the hex. you can use a hammer and punch and knock it out. That's what I did.

Thanks, good call, I will have to check and see if there is any lip to pop them out.

Put them in a bucket of acetone overnight, it will loosen the glue and they will pop out much easier. Acetone eats CA
