Removing laser head w/o tool

I moved and can’t find my remover tool. Is there a way to get that laser head out to clean it without the tool? TIA.

Do you mean the lens? The head is the large black box with the logo on the top.

If so, then you can simply press the lens out from above after removing the lid from the head, and the mirror. Use a soft object like the clean head of a pencil with an eraser. Obviously make sure it doesn’t fall out onto something hard and get damaged, and pay careful attention to its orientation when you re-insert it.

Erasers can contain grit. It’s a better idea to use something softer like a cotton swab and then order or make a replacement.

That totally was it. I’m glad I did that, now I have intimate workings of that laser head. I haven’t fired it up and tested but everything “feels” right.

Thank you for the help!
