Went to change out the batteries in my PAQ-4 and one came out fine. Second AA is stuck inside. The two sets of pliers I have wont reach and hitting it didnt work either. Any suggestions on getting the bugger out? Also does one have to replace the entire front end on a SF Millenium M953 or is there an easier way to replace just the bulb?
Thanks |

No not that I can tell. its stuck too good to really see inside but as far as i can tell no corrosion, leaks or exploded batteries |

I did not know what a PAQ is but did you try just putting on the cap and banging it on a block of wood or similar item (like how a bullet puller hammer works). I have done that before with my lights to use the kinetic force to pull the battery down. Tried it. didnt work. Im gonna try the glue idea tomorrow. |

The water probably soften the residue.
But despite the common (mistaken) belief, baking soda will not nuetralize alkaline leakage. Soda only works on acid-based leakage. Eventually there will be corrosion if the residue is not nuetralized. It's slower, but it's very aggressive. Don't take my word for it, look it up. Vinegar and water is the recommended treatment for alkaline battery leakage to prevent corrosion. |
