child theme - remove_action() hook not working

On my child theme,

I created this:

remove_action('woocommerce_single_product_summary','woocommerce_template_single_excerpt',20);
add_action('woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_excerpt',30);

The add_action is working, but not the remove_action

What happens is, the woocommerce_template_single_excerpt gets duplicated with the add_to_cart in the middle of the two.

I am using shopkeeper theme in woocommerce. I hope someone can help.

Actions (and filters) can be removed only after they had been set, therefor you will have to figure out when in the execution path the woocommerce_template_single_excerpt is being added, and remove it only after that.
