<p>[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 222005, member: 360"]Removing the tube is the easy it. Trying to reach in to beat the dents out is the hard bit! I haven't figure out how to do it. The tube isn't a full on cylinder. It's open at one end, and at the other, it's got a disc on it, with a hole in the middle (through which light passes for the lenses). So it's like - open at one end, and a doughnut at the other. If it was just full-on open at each end, then yes a steel rod might work...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
