FandyFire driver board removal help

Flashlight Modding and DIY Parts
1

I heard about the stacking of resistors in this SRK Clone and bought one myself. My intent was to do the mod read about here and brighten it up a bit. To make it short the flashlight has been glued shut. The tail cap, driver board and emitter cone are all irremovable.

I really wanted to remove the driver board. Things I have tried: Soaked the board in moonshine. Froze the flashlight, heated it up in boiling water. In each of these attempts I put a small stick in thru the switch hole and applied a little pressure on the back side of the driver board

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

After many unsuccessful attempts I was able to remove the driver board by soldering a large wire to the front face of the driver board and by forcefully pulling on the wire and pushing thru the switch hole the board pulled free. I am still working on the tail cap and the front bezel wasn’t glued as I suspected. It came free after removing the screw under the driver board.
