INSTRUCTIONS FOR LASER LENS REPLACEMENT

It’s best to soak the original lens in acetone for about 45 minutes.  Then remove the lens and place it on a surface that the acetone will not affect.

With the barrel facing up, take a pencil with an good eraser and with the eraser end of the pencil push the lens out.  If it’s still too hard to push out place the lens back in the acetone for another 30 minutes.  It’s best to keep the tray with the acetone covered while soaking as to help keep the acetone from evaporating so quickly.  A very small tupperware type sealable food container will work best for soaking the lens in.

The original lens may have some silicone adhesive.  You do not need to replace the silicone to replace the lens.  Just replace the lens in the lens barrel and put the retainer ring back in and just snug up the retainer ring.  Shake the barrel to make sure you don’t hear the lens rattling.

You should be set to go.  Good luck.
