6PD Bezel

[Darien]

Hi,

Well I guess I'll show my ignorance, but I would like to know if the strike bezel on the head of a 6PD is removable? If so, what is the best way? I
have one I've tried to remove with considerable force, but starting to think I'm wasting my time.:thinking:

And heat. Try to go for an even heat source such as boiling, put the head in a plastic bag first.

Thanks, I appreciate the info. :thumbsup:

I took the head in my hand and pressed the Bezel ring onto a piece of wood. The corner of a board goes into the deeper part of the crennelations and you just push into the wood and twist at the same time. You'll hear a loud crack and there you go! Easy for me, give it a try.

Boil for ten to fifteen minutes, allow to cool slightly before twisting the bezel off.

Some people are also able to achieve the twisting off stage by placing the head bezel down on a mousepad and twisting. Let us know what works for you.

Why not buy another bezel? You can get them cheap in BST.

If you look at the inner side of the "teeth" there are indentations. I suspect they are for a special factory tool for installation.

Excellent advice ! I'm sure that if you look hard enough, you can find a brand new Surefire 6P bezel on the BST section (ahem...cough ! )

Looks like the tool you'd use to open a watch case.
