> Is there really a removal tool or are you being fishesus?
Supposed to be in the factory tool kit, as I recall. At any rate, I
certainly have one that I made myself. Flat strip of metal perhaps 4-5"
long and 1/2" wide, with one end turned up into a lip that can be forced
between the bottom of the trim ring & the gasket between it and the body. A
sideways tug will lever the tab out of the clip, so the ring can be removed.
ISTR I'm still using the one I made from an old hacksaw blade (with the
teeth ground off), but I've read that an IO port cover from a PC will work.
And yes, I do have to use the other end of it to install the trim rings. If
I try to just bang them into place, the tab bends instead of going through
the "teeth" on the clips.
