Sierra Stylus replacement

[PTownSubbie]

I purchased some Sierra Stylus kits a while back and I had one of the Stylus tops split and has to be replaced. For anyone that has used these kits, you know the upper section is constructed within the kit.

How do you replace the stylus on top? I purchased some extra stylus' but I can't for the life of me get the top apart.

Anyone replaced one of these?

Fred, I haven't done it but I found some instructions for you.

Thanks Mike but these are different than the ones on the Sierra style....

It should be really simple, Fred.

Knock off the top of the sierra, then put a smaller punch under the stylus and knock it out. (I made a hole in a 2 x 4 to fit the stylus).

Will make a quick vid tomorrow---going home for dinner, now!
