How to install nose pads
Screw in nose pads
Screw-In nose pads are installed by unscrewing the small screw (usually 1mm) in the nose stem just enough to release the old nose pad. Please don't completely remove the screw as they are hard to find if you drop them.
Insert the new nose pad in the same direction as the original, pushing the nose pad tab through the stem receiver. Line up the hole in the nose pad receiver the best you can, then re-tighten the screw.
Push in nose pads
Push-In nose pads are installed by first removing the original nose pad. Most of the time this can be done by pulling on the nose pad while firmly holding the nose pad stem. It's important to get a firm grip on the stem as stems will bend or break off if too much pressure is applied to them. You can also use a toothpick or optical screwdriver to push the nose pad tab through the receiver.
Once removed, insert the new nose pad into the receiver. Push firmly on the nose pad face while holding the back of the stem receiver. If it doesn't go all the way in, then get a set of pliers and cover the plier teeth with a cloth. Very gently squeeze the nose pad into the stem putting as little strain on the stem as possible.
