Love the on ice feel of step steel , but they are a major pain to put back into Tuuk edge holder. like to take them out , when I need to get them sharpened & don't want to leave whole skate in my truck , when I'm at work , gym , Ect. Is there a trick to make it easier. Thanks

Your skate must be new to the step steel, eventually it breaks in and inserting them will be easy. I've used step for a long time now, i always dump the stock steel and it's always a little stiff/hard to insert them at first. After a while it'll be fine. Just stick with it.
Also if it's stiff then I change steel when I have my skates on and laced up. I'd remove the current steel then install the other set as much as i can by hand then just finish it off by stepping on it on the floor. Just make sure the steel is halfway in or so before putting your weight on it. Haven't had any issues.

This worked for me, thanks! Mine were new and hadn't had any steel in em..let alone step and I couldn't do it by hand until i stepped on them.

I just bought edge holders & step steel runners. sold the holders & returned the runners. going with the speedblade xs holders & stepsteel xs runners. don't want to have the edge's riveted & still have this problem. I have to take out the runners , when I get them sharpened after work , gym & don't want to leave whole skate in car.
