    How to separate 89+ tail lens from the housing, to prepare for a LED retrofit

    Maybe try soaking it in rubbing alcohol overnight or for a couple of days? I know that people that modify powerbook's use that method to get the silver paint off of the inside of laptop cases. The light wont pass through the paint at all? Maybe you can sand it down just enough for the LEDs...

    Worn Turbo seals?
