GTR start button! another alternative..

roy'sz · 10-20-2012, 03:28 AM

thanx for the legit SHORTCUT from the original post. Def worth the rep...+1 my man! I got this one done in less than 2 min and didn't mar up my panels.
Here is a useful tip. Buy a mini flathead where it doesn't have grooves on the tip or grind it down, also fold a little bend on it with a small balpine hammer and wala...you got a screwdriver that you can use to pry it out. I will however at a later time paint the aluminum ring flat black...just sayin.

No worries, glad it helped!

Thanks for the Quick Tip on the Red Start Button change out. Worked perfect.

I would wear shoes while doing that to avoid stabbing yourself in the foot.

This was super easy, 5 minutes and done. Great alternative DIY.

So I'm probably stupid but I can't seem to get the outer grey piece out of the start button:

I tried pushing the side and pulling it as instructed but it won't budge! Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: Nvm, got it!

this may be a stupid question but is the GTR start button just a cosmetic upgrade or does it have any other advantages?

Worked fine for me! Took all of about 5 minutes.

adamste · 07-12-2015, 09:14 PM

That was much easier than taking the rest apart. Took 3 minutes. Thank you!

Jordo! · 10-20-2012, 12:34 PM

LakeShow · 10-21-2012, 07:51 PM
