Item #SUN0056 | 96 in Stock

Anyone know a good way to get a Suunto Vector battery cover off...

Anyone know a good way to get a Suunto Vector battery cover off if you've "stripped" the plastic notch away? In my eagerness to replace the battery, I used a screwdriver and totally mangled the plastic. Help needed ASAP, I'm in IRAQ!!

drill two holes into the cover, one hole at the 12 o'clock position and the other hole at the 6 o'clock postion. now with a pair of needle nose pliers insert one plier nose into one and the other plier nose into the other. push down on the cover as you turn and the cover should open. repeat as necessary.
