Hello, I am wondering if you still have any of the M3 bezel removal tools left for sale? and if you have any bead blasted, smooth or machined replacements, i may be interested in one of those as well.

There are plenty of M3 tools in stock...

Here is a link to the titanium M3 bezels for sale... here

I also will have some aluminum versions asap.

do you expect the aluminum to be in the same price range as the Ti?

No... definitely cheaper, like half

Subscribed, awaiting notice of "M6 tools in stock". Will purchase at least one, possibly two, when they are made available again.

Will add one M3 tool to that order, but the M6 tool is the priority.

Thanks.

I just realize the current run of titanium M3 rings have NO drive notches, so what's the use of the bezel removal tool anyway?

Also, why is it that the bezel ring removal tool is designed for use with an adjustable wrench, but not a ratchet wrench (say, 3/8" type)?

To remove the stock ring.

That would require machining a square in the middle of the hex. Why add cost to something that will get so little use?

ratchety. thank you! do I need to take any special precautions to not potentially scratch my M3's bezel?

 

[tobrien]

RPM do you have any tips? I'm trying to remove my M3 bezel ring and it's being incredibly stubborn and hasn't budged. the stock ring is all scratched up now anyways, so I'll install one of your Ti mods in its place at some point. What should I do?

Boil, boil, boil.

After boiling, I quickly clamped the hex of the bezel in a vise with soft jaws and a very thin rag. Dropped the tool into the notches and it spun right off with a wrench. I probably boiled all of mine for about 10 min.

Heat is the trick... I use a heat gun.. like an industrial blow dryer, but boiling has worked for others also.
You have to use some heat to loosen up the thread locking material used by SF.
If you just can't seem to make it work, I'll do it for you, no charge.

oh you are the man! shall I PM you on here or email you at the pacbell address? I have some other services I need from you, so I'm hoping to kill multiple birds with one stone.

I usually just boil a glass of water in my microwave and put a leather glove on then dip the end of the part in it for a few seconds. If the part (a Z44 bezel for example) doesn't contain a reflector I just drop it in the hot water for about 30 seconds. Be careful though, the water can flash boil if you drop the part in really fast.
