Post base feels loose in custom-cast footing

[MatsG]

Hello,

I have cast my own piers to build a fence.
The post holder was put in place when the pipe was filled with concrete.
The concrete is rock hard and has cured for about 3 days now, but the problem is that the post holder feels loose and "wobbles" a bit, more noticeable when the post is in place, but absolutely too much "wobble."

What went wrong?
Can anything be done to "repair" it?

Thanks in advance.

One solution might be to pull out the skon. Lower the kemankare and put the skon back in place.

Is it a post shoe with just one pin, and it's likely galvanized?
Galv has poor adhesion to concrete, and if you've also mixed it with a bit too much water, the shoe can be pulled out.
As written, chemical anchors solve the problem.

but won't it be a wobbly fence with just one pin at the bottom?

The problem is that the shoe is very tight when I try to pull it out.
I haven't been able to get it out.

Yes, galvanized post shoe with 1 pin.

It feels just like there's air around the post shoe down in the foundation.

If it is loose, it must be removed and reinstalled with a chemical anchor. Press it out with a lever, hammer, or similar tool. Possibly drill the hole up. +2mm of the diameter of the shoe.

But now we might have to take help from gravity, the fence isn't going to jump out of the concrete, if it can't be pulled and maneuvered out, that should be enough.

I'm more worried that the 15-20 mm pin will bend when you lean against the fence.
