| + | [title] Removing the ear stems |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] The first picture shows an optimal position in the bench vice for removing an ear stem |
| + | [* black] Grab the ear stem close to the hinge (the titanium alloy is probably strong enough not to buckle, but you don't want to find out) and give it a good push against the spring to alleviate any load from the screw. Don't be shy - if any frame, this one can take some abuse. |
| + | [* black] When your pushing force balances the spring inside the frame, the T6 Torx screw is free of load and can be removed. |
| + | [* black] The ear stems come with two sunk metal washers each that make it easy to re-install them compared to other X-Metals that come with four thin, flimsy plastic washers per ear stem |
