1.very carefully, it is a real bugger to get off. I buggered mine up bit.
some people say use a heat gun to loosen the glue.
2. there are 3 little set screws that you use.
3. there is a lee filters thread, check there for info as I'm not sure anymore.

Yes, very carefully:
I used a heat gun and a putted off the gold piece.
Now there's a black plastic one that I don't succeed in throwing out! :cry:

Finally: I did it! :D
the black plastic part is a little broken, :cry:
but I think some glue can be used for mending it :roll:

thanks

Drill all 3 of them out with a 7/64 drill bit. Remove the blade holder from the hilt.


In the shop, Tim hasn't got a 7/64 Tap & drill set. :(

So I have to buy here in Italy.
How cm or mm is a 7/64 drill bit? :shock:

(yes, I know: I'm very boring :( please, excuse me if you can)

You're in europe so you should be able to get the M3- .05 tap that Tim uses there later. The set should come with a tap and drill bit the right sizes.

I guess Tim used the closest english size or just later decided that M3 was the closest to what he drilled so he might as well tap for that instead of drilling it out for a larger screw.
