millemiglia Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hello Pam Experts! Sometimes ago I bought a RoseGold PamFerr GT from Precious, and since it got a lot of use some parts were quite worn out. I bought replacement parts now one of which is the engraved case back. It is basically a golden dodecagon: I have to remove it in order to replace it but, since the reason for changing it is the worn gold coating, scratching it would defeat the purpose wouldnt'it? (specially considering the thin layer of gold present). What kind of tool should I use? Please hel me out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronos twin Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I'm no expert on this, but you might want to try to use putty between this and a lug wrench case opener. Also, if I recall, there are rubber caseback openers available that can also do the job with a little elbow grease. I yield to more talented experts on this site though. kt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millemiglia Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Will the sticky ball work (I mean has someone tryed it? I would have to buy it so knowing beforehand would be great! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I use a ball of duct tape or neoprene gloves... also, use constant steady force not wrenching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millemiglia Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 You mean you wear neoprene gloves and open the case with your hands (without a tool)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'll repeat the suggestion for rubber gloves (dishwashing gloves) They work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millemiglia Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'll repeat the suggestion for rubber gloves (dishwashing gloves) They work Tryed, yes I didn't scratch it, no it wouldn't budge This thing is super tight!!
