I have a PR-T head that I want to replace the lens in but the bezel doesn't want to move! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif

Any tips out there?

Do you mean that the bezel will not unscrew from the head?

Exactly! It's a McGizmo built head but another one built by him, comes right off. In fact, most heads that I have, the bezel will move while trying to unscrew the head!

You know , it's so smooth and hard to get a grip on! Hmmm, I just remembered that I have a non-slip pad at home that might do the trick. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The non-slip pad worked! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I put a bit of grease on the threads.

I have found that if I don't have a strap wrench available I can use a vaccumm cleaner belt just as well.
Glad you got it off.
