"Hi my name's Kevin and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to remove a router bit from a router. Ok, we've got a router here that we want to take the router bit out of, so the first step in that is going be to remove the router base. Depending on the model, they can remove in a lot of different ways. For this one, it is a clip system. You loosen the clip and then you just take this guy off. Some, the bases don't come off, they just adjust up and down and so you'll just want to adjust the base low enough to where you can get to the two nuts here so you can take this off. So what you want to do, I'm going to lay it down and we have two wrenches here and a lot of people want to tend to take these wrenches and put them off and try to use two different hands and that's really not a good way to go about this. What you want to do is when you're loosening it, and it loosens to the left, righty tighty, lefty loosey as the saying goes, what you want to do is you want to make it so that it turns left so you position these two wrenches really close to each other like this and then you just want to grab it with one hand and then just squeeze them together. That way the wrenches aren't likely to get out of your control. So from there you just loosen it up and it has a second catch on it so you'll loosen it, it'll get tight again and then just same thing. Put these wrenches as close as you can together like that and then just squeeze them together and it will break that. Loosen it and then from there you grab the bit, make sure you don't actually grab onto the cutting surface, but up here and take the bit out."
