It comes right out. There is nothing to it. The thing is, it weighs next nothing! Keep it in and take a dump before the race to make up for it.

It doesn't weigh very much and is very quick to take out. 5 bolts to take out. I did a write up on it on cz28 just because I couldn't find anything and it'll save somebody a few minutes not having to figure out what size the bolts are.
