Jetbeam M1X tailcap bezel swap

[Fusion_m8]

Just wanted to know how to remove the original bezel:

and swap it for the quad crenulated one I just ordered:

Any special tools required besides a long nose plier? I tried using a long nose plier to fit in those semi-circular things of the original bezel, but it just wouldn't get a grip. I'm just wondering if there's a special tool needed, if so where do I get it?

Thanks in advance.

Some people use a small strap wrench. I just put on a pair of rubber gloves and unscrewed the ss bezel by hand.

Hope this helps.

Where did you get the new bezel from if you don't mind me asking?

BugOutGearUSA sells them, however I got mine from ebay, just do a search for Jetbeam tail bezel and the listings will appear.

I used a pair of channel locks to get it started then used rubber gloves to get a grip and unscrew it. Be careful though - easy to scratch the anodizing with those pliers! I did............
