Remove the Center Pivot Bearing Ball 

Use a tweezers or other suitable tool 

to remove the ¼” 

bearing ball from the center bore in the stationary base 
(see 

Figure 18

).

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  19

).    These 

screws  are  staked  in  place  with  adhesive  and  can  be 
surprisingly  stubborn,  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 20

).

Remove the Black Knurled-Rubber Grip Ring 

Carefully  remove  the  black  knurled-rubber  grip  ring 
from  the  outer  perimeter  of  the  revolving  turret  (see 

Figure 21

), 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.

Remove the Threaded Retaining Ring 

The  stationary  base  is  held  inside  the  recess  of  the 
revolving  turret  by  the  threaded  retaining  ring  (see 

Figure 22

).
