Disassemble The Natural's button?

[DeviantDigi]

Greetings,
I was just curious if anyone had managed to disassemble their The Natural's button? The button is really stiff due to the spring. I want to change or adjust it if possible.

The issue is how the bottom part is assembled. Behind the button, inside there is a nut. Seems simple, but I can't seem to find the right tool to get it loose. Like with needle nose pillars The metal tube stops me from going any further, and being I have don't have anywhere to grip the nut anymore once its moved. By moved I'm talking like a flinch, barely nothing. I've tried no-marring piliars to twist the button itself. No luck.

Also curious that once I got it off, would I be able to put it back on lol.

I received my Natural today and took it completely apart. That nut is on there very tight and you can't get leverage with most pliers and I didn't have any wrenches that fit.

Take a small punch or mini flat head and hammer the nut off - i.e., in the rotation that you would unscrew it. After a few light taps it broke free and I could undo it with just a finger. While it's apart, gently sand all the chrome plating from the parts which carry current. I saw a jump from 3.5v to 3.8v loaded volts after exposing the brass.

I tried a hammer and flat head screwdriver as the last resort. I didn't want to sound like a monkey just pounding on things though lol. But yeh, that seems to be the only tool to get the nut moving. I'll have to try it again I guess.

Thanks for the help.

AH! Got it. Stubborn ....... that nut is. Just had to get mean with the hammer ... and hit it in the right direction. X.x

Got the lighter spring in there as well, sooOoo much better. Got it sanded down, thanks for that tip. They even chrome plated the connection pin (screw) lol.

Thanks for the tips here too. Was curious if there was enough room for magnets?
