Changing UPO steel strap to rubber strap...

[mattcops]

Can you guys link me to a tutorial on changing the strap? I have the spring bar remover tool, just don't want to mess anything up!

Well i don't know if there is a tutorial, i really cant remember, but here is what you have to do as shown to the pic.

The red arrows show where you have to put the spring bar tool edge and the blue arrow the direction you have to push them as to release them from the case.

I hope this is helpful...

same deal as with any watch, go slow, don't force anything and masking tape is your friend

I recommend having some extra 22mmx1.8mm spring bars on hand. Incase you bend one.
Once you put them in your rubber strap, it's difficult ti pull them out. The fit in the strap pretty tight.
