I am going to start this thread for all BOA related repairs and general info.
I am the BOA guy in my circle of friends so I have fixed many a BOA over the years, they are quite simple to repair once you get over the fear of what you are likely to find inside.
The people who I have witnessed over the years who continually have BOA problems all have this in common, they don't gently open the tongue of the boot to get their feet out, they just pop the dial and start trying to rip their foot out of the boot. This rapid unwinding is what does the damage so being gentle here will save you many problems in the future.
So lets have it. Starting with this burton photon boot.
Coiler.
Pop it open with a screwdriver like so, rotate clockwise
![156943]( "156943")
Remove the dial and unravel the wire
![156944]( "156944")
To reinstall the dial simply pull the lower laces until everything lines up and pop it back in. Ratchet it up with the dial and everything will align itself perfectly
