Remove the Mechanical Detent Stop
The next step is to remove the mechanical detent stop
from the stationary base of the turret assembly. Use a
suitable JIS screwdriver to remove the two M2X4 pan-
head screws securing this stop to the stationary base
(see
). 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 Knurled-Rubber Grip Ring
Carefully remove the black knurled-rubber grip ring
from the outer perimeter of the revolving turret (see
), 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.
