It is not glued, it’s just screwed in hard. On mine, I was able to remove it with bare hands but it was difficult. You could try to press it on a rubber mat and turn or grab the bezel with a piece of rubber. The bezel is small and sharp and thus hard to turn.
I think this is about the tailcap, not the bezel. Mine came loose with needlenose pliers (I have one that I sanded the tips more pointy to fit in small holes), fairly easily, sounds like you have less luck.
Candor, you could carefully put your tailcap in a vise and try to unscrew the retaining ring with a small crosstip screwdriver in each hand. But be warned, you will most likely scratch your retaining ring with this method.
Can anyone confirm that the retaining ring is not reverse threaded like in the Convoy S2+ and C8+? Because then more force would be useless.
The tail cap retaining ring is put in extremely tight. I used a small jewelers screwdriver at an acute angle in one of the holes and whacked it til it gave up. I’ve had a couple that would surrender to brute force but that last one had to be beat on…
A green scotchbrite pad from painting sector of hardware store was good enough to take down the rough spots on the bare AL tube I got. You can still see some burs under a macro lens or looking very closely but none stick up so you cant feel any of them afterward. Mission accomplished, feels better in hand.
I am very inexperienced doing mods but I was curious if there would be any possibility of doing a lighted switch for the D80V2? I love mine, just want to jazz it up a bit.
The lighted tail is a nice idea, I will have a go too. Not straightforward is that the tail cover is 12mm instead of the common 14mm or 16mm, and I have not found a clear one anywhere. I did find orange on aliexpress and that works nice at least with red tail leds.
