We talked about how often to service the housing and its price...

But has any DIY hero ever tried to change the o-rings on a single button or a wheel?

I remember seeing it done once on a Nauticam housing, and it didn't seem like rocket science to me.

Provided you have the right spare parts and tools. It seems to me that once the micro circlip/e-clip is removed, the mechanism just slides out. I'm aware that different brands have different designs.

Am I crazy?

Hi,

definitely no rocket science. If you have a little knowledge in mechanics, be a DIY & have the right tools it shouldn`t be a problem. Just be organized if you dismantle all buttons/wheels/levers at same time, so you know they are all on the right position when you reassemble.

I did this on different housing brands (Patima C7070, Hugy D300, Sealux flash housing Nikon SB800, Seacam housing D800, Nauticam housing D850) I haved used and all worked fine after reassemble. SIngle buttons and wheels are never a problem.

Just be careful with levers. Some brands are easy and they always in the right position as they mechanical fit only in one position. Some brands you can. f.e. move the levers on the shaft. So it`s always a good idea to mark the position with a pen before dismantling. Will save you a lot of time when you reassemble. Photos also help a lot.

I have just a hard button and a knob with no levers involved.

Let's see if I dare 🤪
