Removing carry toggle from an Ocean Kayak

[Hake]

I'm putting an anchor trolley on a Scrambler XT. As part of this I to remove the rear toggle, fit a stainless D-shackle and then re-attach the toggle to the shackle. On a Scrambler, the rope part of the toggle passes through a hole moulded into the hull....not through a pad-eye as on a Prowler.

 

So, I need to separate the component part of the toggle handle to remove it....without knackering it so that I can re-assesmble it later.

 

Does anyone know how to do this ?

 

Thanks guys.

Thats the size I was thinking but want to put the biggest that will fit and I know I could go and measure before someone says but its a pain in ass to get out as its at back of garden wrapped in a couple of sheets of plastic and bungeed so its not as easy as to go and check and im sure someones already done this

If the holes are moulded into the kayak in a similar way to those on the Scrambler XT, then hopefully 6mm should pass through. The hole could always be enlarged slightly if necessary, without compromising the moulding.
