Rifle Scopes trouble installing my zeiss sunshade

[bigshooter81]

hi all, lurker needs a tip to get the factory ring out of the scope so I can install the sunshade.

That dang bevel ring is in there really tight. I don't want to break anything, thought I'd see if you guys had some insite into the situation.

it's a 4.5-14x44 conquest

Thanks.

Re: trouble installing my zeiss sunshade

Try soaking it under running hot water. (Don't worry, the scope is waterproof) Then dry it and your hands off, and maybe you will have better luck. Next option is a pipe wrench, but that is not a great choice if you want to use that bevel ring again!
