Duda con copal 227

[zetajuan]

Recientemente he adquirido un reloj copal modelo 227 y me ha llamado la atencion que es el primero que veo que trae unos tapones que cubren los 3 tornillos.Me gustaria saber como se pueden quitar los tapones sin dañarlos porque parece que estan muy duros.Tienen algun truco para quitarlos?Gracias.

Adjunto fotos de los tapones que cubren los tornillos para ver si alguien sabe como se quitan.Gracias.

Removing these caps can be difficult indeed. They are glued in place. Your success in removing them depends on how strong the glue still is versus how brittle the plastic has become. I can only suggest to get some tool underneath it from the flat side and then try to pull.

Gracias por responder.Y si intento darle un poco de calor con un secador a ver si se ablanda un poco el pegamento?

Not sure if that would work, but I would give it a try. Be careful not to overheat the plastic.
