Has anyone changed the body assembly on one of the new Ikelite 8" dome ports? I am only wondering if there are any problems doing this or any special tool that you might have needed. I am considering buying the 5510.82 Super wide port for my 15mm Sigma fisheye and buying just the 5510.16 body for changing out when I want to use the Canon 10-22mm lens. (Just less to pack) Thanks!

Buy one of those oil filter wrenches with a flexible strap and plastic handle at any auto parts store. Light and easy to pack. Have someone hold the port edge whiel you unscrew and re-attach your choice of extension. Make sure you grease this o-ring and the sealing surface is clean....
If you're paranoid do a "dunk" with no camera in the housing and port attached after changing extensions. Just make sure you either have your strobe cords attached or the flash port plugged before doing this quick dunk!
Hope this helps
