I got myself in big trouble after pressing a new M140 diode in the copper module. The lensbarrel couldn't fit the module. Not any barrel. The hole was just too small.
It looks like the thread was made for the M8 instead of the usual M9.
So the diode need to be remove from the module. A problem arises, there was no room around the diode can for using a diode removing tool. :gun:
First I solder the two diode pin together to prevent damage from static electricity.
I took my Dremel and made two cuts on each side of the copper module. Then I widen the gap with a wig. The diode just pops out.
The diode is safe and the module went to oblivion.
