When you buy a replacement screen (ground glass with grid is really good),
the proper instructions, cleaning brush, and removal tool are included. I
don't advise doing it without using the tool. Proper seating of the GG is a
requirement of proper focus. It's difficult to seat it properly without the
tool, as one LUGger has already experienced.
