Apply a hard even pressure on
the TOOL (20) until the LENS (4)
and REFLECTOR (5) are pushed
out the back of the HEAD (2).
NOTE: The pressure required to remove
the LENS (4) & REFLECTOR (5) will be
considerably more than to replace
them and you will usually destroy the

To replace the components, first
insert the LENS (4).
Note: You should wear a glove when
replacing the LENS to avoid fingerprints.
STEP 5
Replace the REFLECTOR (5) ,
