The little red logo button on front of my Pax M3 must be unscrewed in order to remove top plate. My problem is I don't have a tool for this. There is no slot in the button and edges are smooth and it fits very close. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks... |

How about some sticky tape that might give you enough grip to turn it? |

Wooden dowel just less than diameter of said button - if button is domed then hollow out end of dowel - glue a piece of rubber washing up glove on end of dowel and trim off surplus. Place dowel over button, push down whilst rotating dowel at same time. Remember the dowel must be perpendicular to the button at all times, otherwise you will loose contact when you turn the dowel. |

Sometimes a small piece of rubber (broad rubber band, piece of rubber glove or a piece of bicycle tube) between your tumb and the button can be used to increase friction so you can unscrew it without any further tools. |
