Who guessed press-fit?
Here you go -- straight from Streamlight.
Lens Removal.
1. Remove the head from the barrel.
2. Remove the lamp holder from the head.
3. Grasp the head and hold it so the lens is facing upwards.
4. Hold the Scorpion lens removal tool (P/N:850168) in the other hand and rest the base of the tool on a solid surface (the tool can also be placed in a fixed vise).
5. Align the opening in the head with the pin portion of the lens removal tool and pass the removal pin through the hole in the base of the reflector.
6. Apply downward pressure to the head and the lens will pop free of the retainer.
Lens Replacement.
1. Place the head of the flashlight on a flat surface with the reflector facing upwards.
2. Take a replacement lens, remove the protective film, and place it so that it is flat across the open end of the head.
3. Place a clean smooth-ended 13/16" socket (max. O.D. 1.120") onto the lens and center the socket in the head.
4. Strike the socket with a rubber mallet.
5. Continue to strike the socket until the lens seats in the head.
(The lens removal tool was not included so I guess I'll just have to use a skinny bolt or something.)
