If you are not worried about saving your existing insert, you can make your life a whole lot easier by just cracking it and digging it out. Or pull the pearl off and insert a hooked tool to pry it up carefully.

Use these to reattach

If you purchased this eBay insert, it comes with one of those adhesive rings to fix it (at least the one I purchased ;))

I'm sorry- I know this post is older than dirt- but I'm currently looking for a passable hulk insert. Would you happen to still have one of the ebay specials or know the seller who had a good one? It doesnt have to be perfect, but the photos on ebay are all terrible and I don't want to take a $45 chance and wait a month to get it only to find out it's terrible. Any chance?

You are right. These posts are outdated.
Meanwhile there is clean Factory inserts and you can order them directly from TDs. Don’t waste your money on 50$ eBay inserts.
Look on Chrono, there is also some sellers offering clean Factory inserts

Is $150 about the going rate for this guy? It looks good, but that's awful high. Is this the same insert in the new VRF which is supposed to be the best out right now.

Usually more from a TD but might be worth it for reliable service and product.

These first came in ZZF Subs, also in others now like VSF. NOT VRF AFAIK.

It's a great insert.

Oh I see- the ohter ones I was finding for ~$150 were the V2 CF inserts. I'm a bit hesitant to drop $188 on a ceramin insert after the nutjob I pulled on my last one. Think I'll stick with a sheapie and if I can get it in in one piece I might go for the upgrade =). Thanks for the tip!
