Remove the Mechanical Detent Stop
The next step is to remove the mechanical detent stop.
Use a suitable JIS screwdriver to remove the two M2X4
pan-head screws securing this stop to the stationary
base of the turret assembly (see
Figure 15 ). These
screws are staked in place with adhesive and can be
surprisingly stubborn to remove, so be sure to use the
proper JIS screwdriver to prevent damaging the screw
heads. It might also be helpful to heat the screws with
a heat gun before loosening them, but do not melt the
black knurled-rubber grip ring in the process.

Remove the loose mechanical detent stop from the
stationary base (see
Figure 16 ).

Remove the Knurled-Rubber Grip Ring
Carefully remove the black knurled-rubber grip ring
from the outer perimeter of the revolving turret (see
Figure 17 ), being careful not to stretch or damage it in
the process. This ring is held onto the turret with a few
spots of adhesive, so proceed carefully here.
