I got the module out of the laser.

It took k and s engeeering stock #139 brass tubing.

1/2" x .014 tubing.

12.7mm x .355mm

It fits perfectly over the driver and yes the driver and module have to be pushed from the back and out the front.

It will come out with this tube inserted in the driver side with a 1 inch socket on the receiving end. Put it into a vice and it will come right out.

John..
