I took pictures when I took mine apart:

Like @INeedMoreLumens commented.
The hardest part is that the driver is glued in pretty well. I used some debonder on it and it was still hard to get out. I found an empty place on the driver to put a small screwdriver and gave it a couple of taps with a hammer before it came out. The spot was just to the right inside the button hole. Luckily it didn’t damage anything. After that, it was a pretty normal reflow process

I did my first reflow today which was surprisingly easy. I took the nasty green 5000k SST40s out of a TS21 and put in a mix of 2 XP-L Hi 3000k and one FFL351A 3750k. The resulting CCT reads at 3264 with a DUV of -0.0008. I really like the results and it’s taken one of my least favorite lights to being one of my favorites.
Pic compares the mixed triple in the middle to an XPL-Hi 3000k on the left and a FFL351A 3750k on the right.

Congrats on your first reflow! Doing that really opens the door to fixing many lights you would otherwise dislike.

Was it difficult to reassemble and align the USB port? Did you re-bond the driver?
We need thefreeman driver in this flashlight

No, they’re are alignment tabs on two sides of the driver that go in slots in the head. Reinstalling was a piece of cake.
I had used debonder to loosen the glue a little. The glue will rebond itself when it re-cures

This is a cool vise, very interesting.

That’s the prettiest flashlight I’ve ever seen will it ever be possible to own one?

Eagerly waiting on my sft40 emitters arriving so I can do my first Olight emitter swap, is that the stock mcpb it’s on? How do you centre it before placing the optic back or does the optic sort of do that? Did you use a hotplate? I don’t have one so I’m trying to figure out how else to reflow it. Nice beam and work any advice is greatly appreciated

I reflowed mine in a pan on my stove top and it worked perfectly. Start on low heat and gradually crank it up until you can pluck off the emitter.
Cheule’s video on reflowing was quite helpful for me. https://youtu.be/m_MFPSdzoqY

I tried to mod a Convoy S6 that had a linear 5a SFT40 to a 8a buck and SFT25R. The 8a driver has some components that touch the pill’s ring resulting in a short circuit. Tried to remove some material from the ring without success…what am I missing here? 
You probably need one of these:

You are my hero, thanks!

If you can’t wait. I had to use a rotary tool with a tungsten carbide bit to make it thinner, I spun it around in a circular pattern, you want to leave just enough material for the notches. it’s a tedious process, if you try with a hand filer eve more so. The thinner ones that convoy sells is what you want it to look like and what I’d get instead in the future

Thanks you for your suggestion!
