Hey all,

I had a bit of work done on my 005G a little over half a year ago. About two weeks ago I noticed that the pin had begun to protrude outward from the crown guard. It was originally flush with the hole as shown.

I'm sure this is a pretty familiar problem, but was wondering on some suggestions to safely refit the pin to its original position.

Thanks!

Just do a search for CG modding, lots of tutorials around. Be careful though, very easy to scratch up the area around it. :whistling:

Nice CG by the way.

Thanks ^_^ Okay I'll have a search around and see what's out there.

I used to use a bracelet link remover tool to push them back in. But after scratching a couple of CGs I switch to using a non-marring hand presser and jewellers hammer to knock it back in. Even with the hand presser though, it is a good idea to place a piece of wax paper or tape over the CG.

+1 on the hand presser

Before I had one of those I use to use a piece of thick plastic and a small hammer and gently tap it back :thumbsupsmileyanim:
