d4v1d Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Hi folks, I get my knife underneath the bezel but I can't lift it. Even with a lot of pressure. I'm affraid I will mess it up if I any harder.. In this video it's seems quite easy.. But unfortunately it's not that easy. What should I do? thanks Edited August 25, 2012 by d4v1d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonboy Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Use a hairdryer to soften the glue. GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbh Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 He's talking about the bezel, not the insert. The original SSD comes off pretty easy. No idea about the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Stop.... step away from the SeaDweller. Do not take the bezel off. If you want to change the insert, that's easy. Dig out the pearl, heat up the insert and pry it out from the hole. If you try to remove the actual bezel it will most likely get bent and you'll be very sorry. These are not like the gen in your video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to pull out the insert that way. The pearl got lost.. that's why I need a new bezel. I would be very pleased if somebody knows a good source for a classic SD insert btw. thanks Edited August 25, 2012 by d4v1d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 How "classic" are we talking here? If it's a 1665, that's the wrong pearl/insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have the latest ultimate SSD and want to also change the insert. I have access to a Rolex bezel remover will this prevent the bezel from getting messed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Do not remove the bezel ring if all you want to do is change the insert. Not worth the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonboy Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 The title of the thread told me that he wanted to remove/change the insert so I told him the easiest way to do it. Simple really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 OK so even with a rolex bezel remover it wont make a difference? I would really like to get my gen insert installed with out breaking my lil SSD which is getting some tasteful mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4v1d Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 It's the classic SD from Andrew. Not the vintage. I removed it really easy with a hairdryer.When the glue gets hot you can turn the insert a couple of rounds and then it pop's up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
