Hijinx stems disassembly

[atomikaso]

Hello fellow Oakley enjoyers!

I know that I asked the same question for Valve 1.0 model, but the hijinx (and mainly square O models as I can tell) features a way more stiffer attachment system and I tried with the same method as the Valve 1.0 but they won't get out.

So, can anyone give me the secret of getting stems off my pair of Hijinx?

Thanks in advance.

It's the same ... firmly twist the earstem where it joins the orbital and they come off.

Be careful, as I've broken the orbital on one disassembling it.

Thanks for the answer, but it doesn't even flex to get out the pin. Maybe should I try to heat it with hot water?

There isn’t a pin in any of the Hijinx frames I’ve ever worked on.

Just removed these earstems from a project set.

No pins.

Yes I know, I refer to those plastic studs as pins. Later I'll try to rinse it in hot water a bit and check. If not I'll paint them like I did with the bottle rocket
