Olympus BH2 Series Teardown, Cleaning And Reassembly
Figure 10 – Secure mounting disk so the e-clip stays out
If, like most people, you do not have a spare mounting
disk from an old binocular head laying around, be
creative and improvise some other way to hold the
plunger in the depressed position so that you can access
and remove the e-clip from the plunger shaft (see
Figure

Figure 11 – Where there's a will there's a way
Use a pair of needle-nosed pliers to carefully grasp and
remove the e-clip from the groove in the end of the
plunger shaft (see

Remove the clamp holding the mounting disk in place,
and remove the mounting disk from the dovetail recess
of the viewing head, to allow the spring-loaded plunger
to re-extend within the mounting recess (see
Figure 13 – Remove mounting disk from dovetail recess
Grasp the exposed end of the plunger within the
mounting recess and withdraw the plunger rod from
the bore of the stationary inner barrel of the locking
screw (see
Figure

Use tweezers or some other suitable tool to remove the
