Back of hasbro E-11 scope

[Wiggleplum]

Can someone please tell me how to remove the cap with the hole in it that is on the back of the Hasbro E-11? It seems to be glued in place.

 

Thanks for the help

Flathead screwdriver and hammer worked for me.

Same here. Just keep working it - it took me a long time before I finally felt it breaking loose.

The rear cap is slotted. There's a lateral slot on the scope and a lateral channel on the cap. It can't be twisted off, it needs to be pulled straight off.

 

You can also use a hobby knife to split the cap laterally, pull it off and patch it later with bondo / modelling putty.

I had to destroy mine to get it off. There was a huge amount of glue all the way around, and I am still trying to sand chunks of it off. Now I need to find a substitute for it. Any ideas?

Believe it or not, a standard scotch tape roll is a perfect fit! My roommate thought I was crazy spinning all the tape off a new roll Find a little magnifying glass (I got mine at radio shack), and you got it made!

I'll try to do the same thing with the flathead screwdriver and hammer. Trouble is, I am afraid I will break it. Thank goodness for Julie with her idea on the scotch tape roll as a back up. Thanks!
