Hello,
I have ordered a replacement lens for my Gray Series portlight (made by Bomar, AKA Pompanette). The hinge pin on this portlight is not a bolt, but an actual pin. I think this pin can be driven out by careful tapping with a drift punch and hammer, but I'm not sure. Has anyone changed these lenses before? If yes, do you have any photos/video/explanation for removal and reinstallation? I've scoured the internet and was surprised to find nothing out there on this. I've attached a photo of the complete portlight as well as one of each side of one of the hinge pins. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
