how much pressure can you use when you remove the eyes, because i dont want to break the wires off of the eyes

Just be smart about it. If it doesnt feel like they are moving, dont push. I doubt you'll have an issue.

Be careful when removing the eyes... when i tried to remove mine, i used hardly any pressure and broke them, which was a $70 mistake. Like Booboo said, if they don't feel like they're moving, don't push.

"...don't push.."?

It depends on HOW you are removing them. If you are just pulling on the wires once you remove the covers, you'll probably damage them in the manner previous responses indicate....

BUT.... if you remove the covers and use a small allen wrench from the INSIDE of the breech area, then you can 'push' them out without any problem. This prevents any stress on the wiring and connections. And don't worry, you won't scratch or crack the eye lenses, they appear to be LEXAN, same material as fighter aircraft canopies...

Do a search for a post by Russ (AngelService MT) describing the "preferred" method for eye removal...

By saying "don't push" I was simply trying to say that if they are in there tight, don't force them out.
