If a tool is currently made to work on an older product that means the tool existed when the product came out? Everything Solms says or does is gospel? Anyone who actually fixes anything can tell you that there are two ways to fix something..quickly or correctly. I don't care how you or anyone else does it but as Walt expressed he does it how it SHOULD be done. You're taking a big chance trying to pry the adjustment so close to the prism assembly when you can't really see( or know) what your doing. How many mauled RF's are there out there?
