Just got my biner and chain Dave. I'm running it with my Sunwayman until my Mac's arrives. Here's a horrible iphone picture:

Anyone know how to change the o rings? I have some jewelers tools and I'm assuming you push the little pin that lives in the lock release out? I don't have a jewelers loop, so I can't tell if it is threaded or not.

I couldn't find anything about it on google.

Looks really good.
But I need to stop looking at them, else my pocket is going to hurt.

Do eeeeeeeeet! :)
But I must forewarn you, the "fiddle factor" is strong with this one:

I can't stop playing with it.

Use a very fine needle to push in on the pin (no threads). Do not let it fly or get away. It holds the lock release just like a watch holds a band. In fact it is a watch band retaining clip.


Great pic nutdip!

Cheers
Dave

Worked like a charm! I'll do a quick recap since I found it difficult to find a how to. I just took a few pics as I went:

(Dave is nice enough to include extra o rings with your carabiner. I got little red ones. If you wish to change them... here is how:)

A.) Use a dishtowel or something as a catch in case the tiny pin comes out! It could bounce into infinity on a hard surface.

Step one: Take a 0.9 size punch (or smaller) and push in on either side's pin hole in the locking bar while twisting the bar slightly to move it aside. It is a tiny, sprung unit just like a watch band pin. You can see the little 0.9 punch in the picture. I got mine in an Iphone tool kit that I bought. (Tools for changing the back cover, your battery, etc.)

Step two:
Carefully pull off the old o rings using a tiny flat head screwdriver. Once both o rings are off, the little pin can go on it's merry way if you're not careful. Then, while holding the pin in... place the new o rings over all three holding posts and the pin. You'll have to use your little screw driver to pull the o ring aside so that you can slip the pin in. Then, one side at a time, put the locking bar back on by holding down the sprung portion of the pin with your tiny flat head screwdriver and moving the bar hole over the pin.

Step 3: Gawk at your newly colorful creation. :)

I don't have a fancy camera. Best I could do with my Iphone. Hope you like,

Have a killer weekend.

I want to note that the little clip in Nutdip's last picture does not come with my chain.

It is very nice, where do we get them?


Cheers
Dave
