(As you guys know I am more active on RG but I wanted to share my latest tuto, hope you all appreciate.)
This is a step by step tuto (mostly by pics) for those who want take take their BP suc-c casing apart. This tuto can be usefull for those wanting to:
- swap crystal
- replace pearl on insert
- lower magnification
- swap bezel insert
Also this explains how the case and bezel construction works, they say it's same construction as per gen.
many people want to lower the mag on these subs. I also showed how to do this job.
2 very important things:
- when sanding down the crystal gasket, press in the crystal as can be seen when sanding, this way you prevent the gasket to break or sanding down unequally and prevents the gasket to change by shape.
- Remove the bezelinsert is an absolute must because you will need to press the bezel back on during assembling
Be aware, these are the exact steps to follow, if not it will not work. Only thing i probably do different is the gasket placing. Most people press crystal in together with the gasket, not me. I damaged to many gaskets that way
To do this job you need a certain amount of tools. Like:
- set of screw drivers
- crystal press
- sticky ball
- toothpick for removal stem
- special dye to press bezel construcion!!!!!! (most important)
- dust blower
Part one: disassembling case
Press the crystal in the gasket when sanding, this prevents you brake the gasket or prevents uneven sanding.
When doing it this way you can use equal force downwards.
Noob gasket on the left, which by the way doesn't fit due the fact it's to thin.
I used this one as a reference regarding height during the sanding down proces
