Fitting Springs to Turtle fins...help please
I am sure someone has already done this and could save me a lot of trouble.

Having missed out on some 1 year old turtle fins with spring straps on eBay I bought a brand new pair from DIRZone (Thanks to Sandro!) for only £7 more but now need to fit the springs.

My problem is what is the best way of removing the current rubber straps. There is a metal pin which has been hit with a hole punch to stop it coming out. At the moment I am planning to hacksaw through this but wondered if there was a better/easier way?

Thanks
Mal
