can you use an oven to open up the corners?

i read the tutorial, but it just said to pry the back and front apart. my question is can you stick it in the oven for a couple minutes instead?

my guess would be yes...i didn't do that and i probably should've. i did one of them just fine, but the other one i ended up cracking the lens. you definitely run the risk of splitting it if you don't heat it up.

On that topic... why's it impossible to remove the lens from the Gen 1.5 corners? I've yet to see one.

I dunno, for the prices at which you can get clears off of ebay, it might be more betterer to just buy them instead of exerting all the effort...

hehe, well i figure it'd be fun to do it on my own, i could feel proud

and if i fudge it up, ill just go ahead and buy them. no worries :drinking:
