Hey,
I have an old 2008 North Rebel 12m. that has a pin hole quite close to the seam of the bladder and dump valve.
I also have a 2010 North Rebel 9m, That has a pin hole located in a similar position but not near a valve, just on the leading edge bladder.
Just wondering how easy/difficult it is to remove/insert the bladder.
I havent ever had to carry out any repairs to date. just having an unlucky period over the last month.
Once the bladder is removed how difficult is the repair process???
Is this work I should consider doing myself or should i get them fixed at a shop???
Thanks for any advice. Greatly appreciated
Its not really all that hard, especially if you've already found the leaks. It is a fair bit of screwing around so it just depends what your time is worth to you. I'd do it myself the first time just so you know how to do it. That way if you're on a holiday or something you can sort it yourself. You could also pay someone and have them show you how it's done.

whereabouts are you? you profile just says auz, if you're in perth quite happy to meet up and show you how to remove/insert the bladder the 10 is a breeze to fix, just need bladder repair patch, the 12 might be a bit more difficult, but if its close to the valve a new stick on valve could cure it, it its near seam could be a bit more problematic.
