Knowing the right steps and techniques is important if you want to disassemble your binoculars. Disassembling binoculars can be tricky and requires patience and care. Here are the steps you need to take to disassemble your binoculars properly:
- Start by turning and removing the protective ring on the lens or cap on the front end lens of the binoculars. There will usually be one cap wrapping each lens. If you find removing it difficult, use a strap wrench for extra leverage.
- Gently turn the external guard ring (the outermost ring on the forward-facing part of the binoculars) in a counterclockwise motion and remove it (all rings will have different sizes).
- Identify any small screws on the side of your binoculars holding your lenses in place. These screws are typically extremely small, so use a tiny flat-blade screwdriver for this step.
- Once all screws have been removed, carefully separate each side of your binoculars into two pieces.
- Finally, unscrew any other parts that may be attached, such as eyepieces or lenses, until they are completely detached from each other and can be removed from your binoculars body.

By following these steps, you should be able to safely and successfully disassemble your binoculars with ease!
