Poisoncigar Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I have a Gen SMP Bezel that I want to put on my rep SMP and it's not like what I see as far as other bezels especially like the one on the Bezel for the PO. there is a retaining ring that is separate from the Bezel and a spring that is tucked away in the Bezel itself. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how this works. I hate to take the one off the one I wear to find out, anyone have some words of information for me on this subject, perhaps a diagram? LOL The retaining ring has some raised points on one side and one raised point on the other side. I'm guessing that point is the one that fits in the hole? Then does the Bezel just click into place over the ring? I'm having a hard time figuring this one out. I've looked at some old threads and pictures but none show it being changed. One on You tube is just crazy, the guy takes it off and snaps it back on. Truly confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm having a hard time trying to picture what you just said, and never did a smp franken but there's a section on bytors guide about the rep smp bezels...if its the same as the one in the guide it might help!? Or have you already found it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 The retiming ring you refer to is actually the spring with points that fit in the case and spring leafs that make the ratchet with the teeth cut in the inside of the bezel. There should be one other long bent bit of wire that sits inside a grove in the bezel and also a groove in the case and on a gen it is a case of portend a case knife between the bezel and case and popping the whole thing off. On the rep it should be the same but I have had rep bezels that just plane won't come off Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisoncigar Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 So you think I'm missing the wire? The retaining ring has 3 tabs on one side and one on the other. It's the Gen Bezel, but I have yet to pop off my bezel on my SMP for fear of it all going wrong. Guess I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and try and get the Rep Bezel off. Maybe I should try getting the insert off first and try just replacing that instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Take off the bezel on the rep, at least you will know for sure where you stand. Is this what you mean by retaining ring the grooved end in the pic fits into the hole in the case with the teeth facing up: It just sits below the bezel and the bezel clicks into place over it: Am I missing something, don't see what exactly you are refering to by 'missing wire'? It should sit in the bezel, unless its taken out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisoncigar Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 OK I have those three parts, is that all there are? I thought there was a wire that attached to a hole in the case that held the bezel on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
