take off the screw. then take a long flathead and gently pry the light outwards to the side. there is a **** that has to come out before you pull the light forward and out.

yea one screw and pry it with a screwdriver with cloth over it. (towel, shirt)

if its your first time doing this, theres a good chance youll need to give it some extra power/force. i had to throw my weight into it and really get it out. i tried gently for a bit and seemed stuck, then you get frustrated and just give it your all.

Spray a little bit of WD40 on that "nipple" (yeah it's actually a nipple that fits into a plastic/urethane bushing). Pry gently with a screwdriver wrapped in a towel and it will pop right out. Cheers

Ooops. sorry see that you already got it out. Next time use the WD 40. Works like a champ.

just a bit of advice, i would recommend using polyeurethane to reseal just to be sure there's no leaks. if anyone else has any input on this fill us in.

This was a while back.. But remember Digital's Cefiro Clone Mod is always an option, I did it the day after he let the world know of his idea and have loved it ever since. I would use a darker black though followed by clear coat. I used gunmetal and its not quite dark enough IMO.
