Permaseals are no joke! Finally... Open, Mods Complete, Money Shots Page 4
Anyone have any tips on separating the lens from the channels?
I've removed all the silicon gasket from around the outside of the lens and the channel and can't get anything with any kind of leverage to break a seal anywhere on the lens which allows it to lift out of the channel. I've opened lights before... even hard ones. This one is the hardest yet and I have about 3 hours in it so far with no real success. Not quite as hard as getting the tension arm ball joints out of the spindles over the last few days (2 hours for easy one, and 6 hours for hard one)... but getting close. One thing is for sure... it's not going back in with gasket maker like it has... using butyl rope like I do on all the other lights I've done.
