Re: Best way to pop out the eye lenses?
I read somewhere on these forums that hairgel works well. Never tried it myself, but it seems plausible - tacky enough, but not permanent or corrosive.

glues dots (the removable kind) work real well. just rip off a tiny piece and place it near the edge of the lens in a couple of places.
museum gel also works really well.

Stick it on and pull-they come right out. I'm apparently a Goddamn genius on excedrin cold medicine.
Oh my God. Works SO good. Never will I pick again!

Can confirm suction cups and nerf darts are solid choices...

yep, I also use the dart method as quent suggested. And if the suction is too weak, I use a folded piece of duct tape. I did use a pin when I first started popping lenses out, but ended up scratching the lens.

Teimaru wrote:Yes, there are no screw, no glue.
The only things glued are the lenses. The best way remove is from the inner part. First you put off the LEDS. And then you use the holes to put something in to remove the lenses (but lenses can be damaged in the process)

Re: Best way to pop out the eye lenses?
Great tutorial.
It should be added to pg1. Thanks for collecting it, Itsa_ and those involved, thanks for trailblazing!

Thanks for adding this to the thread Itsa.
And guys, remember the first credits on this go to Ballou, the first to change LEDs color
Hope this will help.

Re: Best way to pop out the eye lenses?
Just got a giant pack of non-branded nerf darts delivered that I bought off ebay. I hadn't fully appreciated how utterly perfect these things were for getting out obstinate lenses! Even one that I'd thought would never come out as it was wedged in so tight came out really easily with a little heating, coupled with a nerf dart.
No more fiddling for ages or causing any scratching here. - quentdiggy deserves a medal!

Yep, those darts sure are handy. I finally managed to pop out the lens on my FROZN gassed and it appears that they were slightly glued on, some paint was removed in the process. Very minor.

Re: Best way to pop out the eye lenses?

threezero should save money and stop using glue =)

Re: Best way to pop out the eye lenses?
Sorry to bring this thread back from the grave, but I read through it and didn't find the answer to my question. Ferg said that you shouldn't use the hair dryer directly on the lenses. That being said, where should you point the hair dryer? Thanks for the help!

Re: Best way to pop out the eye lenses?
can someone tell me how many mm's the eyes are?
I think I might have a tool that can pop them out perfectly, and I don't have a squadt infront of me at the moment.
