While this trick works fairly well with Source 4 Pars, it doesn't work that well with Parnels, which I have a few of in my inventory.
I actually made my own lens removal tool by cutting a foot off the end of a steel fish tape and bending the tip at about a 45 degree angle. Then I painted the thing orange, except for the tip, so I wouldn't lose it. It works great for getting my Parnel lenses off for cleaning. Of course to get the second lens out, you have to disassemble the light, but that's another matter all together.
