Hi bros,

With reference to above pic, Is this called sleeve anchor?

How should I remove this kind of anchor?

Anyone can help? thanks

I had successfully removed 2 of these from my walls. These buggers are not easy to remove.

What I did was to use a pair of pliers, firmly clipped it onto the wall anchor and try to pull it out. You may also try to turn it and pull at the same time. Be patient. After a while, you will find the anchors can slowly be removed.

After that, fill it with white cement or wall putty, then paint over.

However, for stubborn ones, u might need to use a hammer and chisel to chisel away part of the wall and try to dislodge them

Agree with Hawthorne.

When I was working in construction, we use a hammer and knock the threaded portion (alternating from left/right/up/down) but don't bend it. Objective is to break away or loosen the cement around it. Once it is loose enough, try pulling it out. If still cannot, continue knocking. Finally, they will come out. I can never understand why ppl uses them unless it is for A/C condenser overhung overside our HDB walls.
