I need to fix one of the two center pins inside the robotic prism rod. One got pushed down. How do I pull it back out? I believe the last time this happened, years ago, I was told that I did not need to have the little pin replaced, just pull it back out. Dealers not open today- no time tomorrow. This is the best place to go for all answers.

Thanks in advance,

You're talking about the PowerRod for the 5600 that has the two pins on the top? If that's the case, that whole assembly pulls out of the top rod section, and you may be able to push the pin up from the bottom once it's out. I recently broke both pins on mine, and while it was away for repair, I dug out the old long range one-direction prism that runs on two AA batteries. It's a pain to always keep it pointed at the gun, but it does work well in a pinch. Another option, if you have the correct cable, is to power the RMT with the top outlet of the radio.

Good luck!

Eric,

that sounds like the answer I need. right now, I'm powering with the radio battery connected to the 360 - very unwieldy and uses too much power - but keeps me stakin.

Thanks!
