Help with Inova T4

[Firecop]

I have an older model Inova T4 that is woefully underpowered. I would like to switch out the emitter and drop in a P4, but I cannot get the head off.

Is there anyone out there that would willing to help me out? I would, of course, pay for shipping to/from, but I was hoping that I could take advantage of someone's generosity. (well, that and the desire to tear apart a well-made light with no fear of recrimination)

If anyone is interested, please PM me.

Inova uses the best threadlocker I have seen. I got the head off my T4 by clamping it in a vise protected by an old leather belt. I heated the head with a propane torch and then with another belt and vicegrips, I was able to unscrew the head. Once there, an emitter swap was pretty easy. I put a P4 in mine and am very happy with the results. If you can't get the head off, I would be glad to try for you but will not be responsible for any mishaps.

I may take you up on that offer, sir. I don't have a vise, but I do have the other stuff...thanks - I will be in touch.

What a great community!

If you do attempt it, remove the rubber switch cover before you get the torch close to the head, don't ask me how I know this.
