TK_LEPER Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) I can't get the black plastic housing to pop off my counter (the end with the eagle logo). I don't want to break it. Does anyone have some pics on how to do this? I can't seem to remember, and I'm hoping I didn't glue it on.

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 it should slide off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJ[501st] Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yeah, it should. You could try taking the connector part off then pushing from up through the bottom or trying to push it down gradually, one side at a time, with a knife or something similar. There is also a latch on these as there is on the metal ones, it's just not as obvious. Is it possible that this could have snapped off and be wedged in? I know on my metal sockets they've become stuck in the past and that an aggressive wiggle sorts it every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK_LEPER Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yeah that's what I thought. But it's not coming off. I think I may have glued it or something. Duh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonitekid Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yeah that's what I thought. But it's not coming off. I think I may have glued it or something. Duh! May sound stupid but......Have you had it off before? ( ooh er missus ). If not you may well have one of the newer ones where the whole front end is a solid plastic structure.

TK_LEPER Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Yeah, I cut the square out where the logo is. Just can't figure out why it won't come off anymore. I wanted to touch up the square opening a bit more. Edited April 19, 2011 by TK 4702 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy19422 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Here is a pic of the latch. Just get a small screwdriver or knife and lift up and pull the socket at the same time, you only need to lift it up by a couple of mm Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonitekid Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 OK, stupid question number 2: You are taking off the screwed on black piece at the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I think andy covered it really well! this seems to be one of the german versions of the counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
