Leica CL cellmeter cover removal

[Fabien3d]

Hello,

I need to open the Leica CL cellmeter compartment to replace the CdS cell. I watched this tutorial:



but the cover removal method is not shown.

I took a look at the Leica CL service guide, but I didn't understand how to remove it.

Does anyone know how to ?

Thanks !

did you figure this out? it was pretty simple. i just used an angled thin tweezers and pried. there's glue underneath and you can see how my cover was slightly bent as the tweezers pulled up on it.

Where does one get a new cell from? My meter is dead but the circuity is fine because the battery check button moves the needle as it is intended to.

The original post is a video about a third party cell made by polar bear cameras. Check their site about it.
