I need help with JM MODs switch

[anavidfan]

Seems JM mods is busy with their box mods and no longer seems to provide customer service on their other devices. Its too bad because they are great MECHS... I should have bought some a long time ago.

Anyway, I cant seem to contact anyone on FB nor their site so I hope someone here has JM Mechs and can help me with this switch....

I dont like magnets and I was able to take my other JM switch apart with no problems, this one is completely different and cant figure it out. I want to take the magnets out and put on a nice spring.

This is the switch and Id love to use it, but cant stand it with the magnets.

tiny snap ring pliers for this one. a tiny screwdriver could work but would probably over expand the snap ring and ruin it. snap rings and snap ring pliers are available at the hardware store.

Thanks, I will check amazon and see what I can find... I have looked into getting one for my GUS switches that also need the same type of pliers...

May I ask, do they come in different sizes? I just dont want to end up buying and returning, till I find the right one.

yes, you can get a whole kit of different sizes for a reasonable price from harbor freight but the best kind for this is the small reversible ones that come with a little pack of interchangeable pins. take your switch with you to make sure you get small enough pins

get some replacement snap rings while you are at the hardware store.snap rings are a consumable. online purchase of this plier increases the chances of getting the wrong one.
the articulated lever on the right side of this one is how it reverses so it can do both inside and outside snap rings.

You can probably find a decent one with changeable pins at Home Depot. Much nicer than my Harbor Freight set.
