Removing Oakley B1B Sleeves ???

[brass monkey!]

Chaps !!

I need some advise on removing B1B Sleeves, the grips are NOS so I'm reluctant to stick screwdriver inside to loosen em, does anyone have a tried n tested method?

Also I need to fit new ones (different colour) - the Oakley box says soak the sleeves in Paint Thinner is this the best way to get them on ?

thanks

With some oakley copies I soaked them in hot water and literally pealed them away inside out... that was after trying to be more careful and not getting very far. The stretch overall should be sufficiant enough not to rip them... I wouldn't just stick with my advice though...

If you carefull can be a right pain... you can put the sleeve on by sliding it on in between the holes.

Its funny I was going to ask this same question, I read about the thinners but didn't think this would be a good idea.

I did think about using GT85 or WD40

Rhys I don't understand what you mean
