4. once it dry completely, starts to unmount the lens
5. first of all, wipe the groove in which the O-ring sits . make sure there’s no foreign objects while you wiping it, otherwise it will damage the O-ring

8. once you’ve done the step, put the silicone grease in plastic bag and then put the O-ring inside.
9. glides the O-ring until the grease covered it completely.
