Removing ceramic bezel/insert

How tough is this to do properly on a subc. I'm talking about the entire combo, with insert already installed. Can they be popped off like the old ones, or am I still risking cracking the ceramic bezel.

Seems to me like the risk would be with installing the insert into the bezel, but installing the whole thing should be a snap (no pun intended!!!) Thoughts????

Thanks Rikki. Are you confortable doing the swap. I am considering the shark mod- deciding whether to buy just an insert, or spring for the complete WG bezel. Prices are absurd, and I don't wanna snap a insert, that's for sure!!!

I cannot even buy the gaskets and parts to do it properly. Sorry these are parts not available to Rolex parts holder accounts. Rikki
