Step 1 - Pointer Disassembly
Start by drilling a 1/2" hole in the block of wood. Next cut it in half so that you have a clamp that will hold your laser. The wood is used here so the metal vise doesn't scratch up the laser.

Place the silver cap into the clamp, and then tighten the vise. Wiggle the pointer around until the module pulls out, the module is only press fit in there so there is no glue or threads to worry about.
