How do I change my earsocks and nosepieces on my Oakley Half Jacket?
To remove the existing nose pieces, hold the nose piece and slide it down away from the sunglass. Replace the new one by putting the prong of the corresponding (right or left) sunglass nose bridge, in the top part of the slot of the unobtainium nose piece and slide it up towards the sunglass. Ensure the nose piece is firmly in place. Repeat for the other nose piece.
To remove the earsocks, slide the earsock towards you while rotating the earsock in your fingers with a rolling motion. To fit the new earsock slide the larger hole of the earsock over the end of the sunglass arm while rolling back and forth in the fingers as before. Repeat for the other arm.
If you are finding difficulty applying the new earsock, try applying a tiny amount of washing up liquid to the arm before sliding on the earsock.

To get the hinge out you press down on the circle on the inside of the arm which is directly opposite the logo on the outside of the arm.
