I do believe it's the same as M removal. Grip the center of the frame and center of the lens above the nosepiece and pull them away from each other. When the lens comes down, flex it out of one corner then slide it our from the other. Reverse to install the new lens, one corner the other corner push back together.

If that doesn't work on the Razor try Squeezing the center of the frame and lens together, pop up one corner of the frame and lift it away from the lens.

I have a copy fo the lens changing primers at home, otherwise I would scan it for you.

These are from the web..

There is an easier way of removal,place the frame between forefinger and thumb at the temple just above the hinge.
Now place a microbag over the lense and grab onto it.
then pull the lens toward you whilst keeping the frame still...you WILL need a bit of strength for this depending on how long the lens has been in the frame.
These have always been more difficult than the easy M Frame.
I hope this helps mate.

Thanks for the info guys,
Its my lens, but he wants to swap it for something.
he wanted to ask you guys if it was easy to change before he agreed to the trade.

I hope he doesnt brake his Blades cos I know he will blame me if he does.

I havent swapped the lens with him and i just tried to change it and the old lens wont budge, i dont wanna pull or bend too hard cos im worried the frame will snap.
is there a risk it will break the frame?

No,I have never broke a frame, but like I said, you WILL need a bit of strength for this depending on how long the lens has been in the frame.
If you are worried doing it you could send it to me,or we will have to meet up some time mate?

LOL, strength is not the problem i dont wanna tell you how many things ive broken in my hands. i cut up my hand quite badly once trying to open a glass jar and i crushed it in my hands. and while trying to open a window i put my hand through it, nearly slashed my wrist which would have been extremly stupid.
Lee, i do think they frames are quite old and id be willing to bet the lenses have been in there for ages i just hope the former owner wasnt stupid enough to glue them in.
where abouts in the UK are you?
