Have you decided on a new colour yet?
Think I'll go with the Tumble Aluminum look for now Johan.
Just a quick question Reonauts, i take it one cannot remove the firing mechanism without breaking the centre pin's bottom part?

No you can unscrew it - the nipple (bottom part) unscrew from the centre pin, but if you have enough spares, you can just break.
Another question, there seems to be Silicon like stuff at the bottom of the 510, should this be cleaned out or left as is?

You can cut the excess silicone, but leave that in the channel alone and make very sure you don't get pain stripper near it.
It's like a nipple and socket actually. Now you need a new one.Think I'll go with the Tumble Aluminum look for now Johan.

Lol, jip, luckily I have a repair kit on hand.
Thinking ahead! I like it!
I hope I'm not too late.
Do NOT try to remove this backing rubber from the 510 connection. There is no replacement in the repair kit.

On ECF I saw a guy using wax.
i used press stick, and my silicone or what ever that stuff is, was also looking messed up - trust me just leave it....if i were you i would not even strip the inside anyway
The stripper I used was like a very thick gel, it's pretty easy to avoid certain area's. The key I discovered was to do one small area at a time. I started on the inside first, and did the exterior last.
@Alex
Hope I'm not hi-jacking your thread, just thought I'll try it out as the Black/Brown Copper Vein doesn't appeal to me. SO let's also change it to a Naked Reo.
Ps - The only difference seem to be that you knew what you were doing.
Not at all @Jimbo, I didn't have much of a clue, other than taking it slow. I have zero regrets now, love the raw look. It's like getting a new Reo.
Well here goes......
Will keep you updated.
"Bullet" now well sedated and ready for the procedure.

Awesome, looking forward to the pics.
@Jimbo, when you re-assemble, the silicone gasket on the center pin must not be inserted whilst on the center pin. Take it off and insert by itself - bit of a pita, but wetting it a bit might help - be patient. If you insert it whilst on the center pin you run a much greater risk of damaging it.
