drop Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I have a stubborn crystal retaining ring on my 1665... tried to tap in a razor blade with a mallet but no luck getting any sort of gap going. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rag9fx Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 there really is no need to "tap" it in... just wedge it in a little and pry little by little around the diameter of the retaining ring. hope that helps a bit. What type of blade are you using? I normally use a window or glassier scraping blade on a scraper handle. i find that using a handle gives me a bit more leverage .

drop Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I read a post in the archive suggesting a little tap if the ring was stubborn. I'm just using a standard razor blade, I'll go shop for a sharper edge... didn't think of that. Thanks for the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drop Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Just in case some fellow noob runs into the same problem someday, I finally just put the case into a vise and lightly tapped a razor blade with a hammer between the ring and the case. Came off easy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
