Removing Diana Original Cog Wheel Holders

[Mobiasstrip]

For many years I have struggled to remove the cog wheel holders on Diana Original Giss pistols and rifles. Wrapping with leather etc is always tricky and often still damages the knurled finish.
Today I spent less than £15 on a pair of Clarke soft jaw water pump pliers which transformed the job on a recently acquired Mod 6 that is in lovely condition - apart from the cheese texture seals….
Sharing just in case it helps anyone here. Probably the old hands have already worked it out :-)


Happy fettling
