Recommended Posts

So i bought this on ebay:

Post a photograph of your backside, with measurements, and we'll let you know.

Sub case backs are usually 29.5mm

Have a look at a sticky ball. Works on most case backs, and no risk of scratching and about $4.

 

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but I was also looking at buying silicone grease too, and the Bergeon branded grease is about 20 time the price of non branded. Any recommendations?

well.. im having a hard time uploading photos since ive got to link them, and i only have them on my hdd.

about the greasing, get a small brush also! it will make it a lot easier to grease the gasket under the crown.

besides that gasket, i removed the gasket from the back and greased the shit out of it, then i put it back :)

 

what is a sticky ball, and where do i get one? :)

Alway use the correct tool please. Sticky balls do it but can never get the back great than 8 ft lbs.

Sticky balls are great for removal in a jiffy, but not so good for making sure your caseback is good and sealed. Use the correct tool.
