If the **Close** or **Swap** action is unavailable or fails, you can exit your position manually by following the steps below.
## Withdraw collateral
Withdrawing collateral sends the token to your wallet, where you can swap it freely using external liquidity sources outside of Gearbox.
>
Withdrawing collateral reduces your position’s **Health Factor**. A large withdrawal may push the position into liquidation risk. \
\
Always check the projected **Health Factor** before each withdrawal.

>
If your current **Health Factor** does not allow for a safe withdrawal, repay part of your debt first using the Debt Token from your wallet (see **Step 3**).
## Swap collateral into the Debt Token
Swap the withdrawn collateral into the Debt Token using external liquidity sources.
Recommended options include:
* DEX aggregators
* Official liquidity venues provided by the collateral issuer
## Repay debt using Debt Token from your wallet
>
Repay the debt using the **same token the debt is denominated in**, directly from your wallet.
>
Check whether the updated **Health Factor** allows for further withdrawal.
