    The more you do it (with the JT lenses), the easier it gets. I, personally, follow the instructions in my owner's manual and remove the lenses after every day of play, rinse them, make sure there's no paint left in the channel the lenses fit into (it says paint left in there may deteriorate and weaken the lenses over time), let everything dry and reassemble them. After 4 or 5 days of play following this strategy (again, not mine - JT's), they're pretty easy to remove/replace.

    Yes, seating the pins that secure the nose of the goggles into the mask are indeed the hardest part.

      With Proflex getting the lens out there isn't a hard and fast way..whatever works is the way but to replace the lens, which is best done at home not at the field
      I always run the frame under hot water and then replace them. I start with the nose piece as the plastic will start to get stiff real quick so whilst it is still supple do the hardest part first
      I realise how this post sounds just so wrong on more than one levels...but we are talking about lens replacement If you try and do it at the field then have a bluntish flatbladed screwdriver handy to push the frame under the lens lugs as the plastic will be pretty resistant to the pressure you are trying to use.
