Diode removal from Aixiz module

[Hiemal]

I've searched around a little bit, and I found a few threads with people wondering how to take diodes out of aixiz modules...without damaging it.

I have a 445 nm diode in an aixiz module I need to pull out (to put in a rifle host), but I'm really worried about breaking the diode's window. I can't get Flaminpyro's diode press thingie either, so is there some other way of removal without hurting the diode?

Thanks...

Do you have an old antenna ? You can make a diode removing tool from it.
Use the right section of the antenna and push the diode out.

FlamingPyro has a great tool for this

Peace,

**EDIT** -- Why can't you get FP's tool?

I'm poor.

I could borrow you some money. Pay me back next week + 20%

I don't have a stable income, either. No job, and the way i've been making money on here is making electronic stuff for you guys...

Otherwise, I would've just waited till I got a paycheck.

Doesn't your signature say you're gonna put that diode into a C6? :thinking:

I *was* but I decided to change my mind. It was before I got the Rifle in my hands.
