    There are more of those where those came from. Take a pair of snap-ring pilars so you can see the bearings.

    Not wise to remove that size snap ring with just nails, which is the Karl way.
    Besides, you may need 2 reuse it.

    The beamsplitter cube in the bearing module is IR, and is a IR adsorber cube, not a splitter cube. You may thus press it out with no need to worry about recovering it. It is just held in with RTV.

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    It's an effect caused by the camera.
