Very easy once you know a couple of things. First: the ear pads are NOT symmetrical, one end is round and the other is flattened, make sure they are oriented correctly when installing. Second: I found a smaller wide bladed screwdriver works better than a coin due to the flat vs rounded end. Third: You do NOT need a lot of inward force, just enough to get the screwdriver edge to engage the slot in the muff. The slot is pretty hidden by the hinge. Slide the blade horizonal between the hinge and the muff. Once the blade end is over the slot, lift the screwdriver to engage the slot using the hinge as a fulcrum to pry against. The cushion should ust pop right off, be gentle as a lot of force is not needed. Using the rounded cushion end first, angle it in first until it engages. Hold the muff in both hands with fingers supporting the muff and thumbs resting on the lip of the cushion starting at the rounded end. Remember the cushion should be siiting at an angle with the rounded end already engaged. Work your thumbs down the sides pressing down and working your way to the flatten end of the cushion. Should snap right in. Took me undet 2 minutes without much force or any cussing. There is no "slot" the cushion has fit into, it is just a compresson fit. Hope this helps.
This is such a great, right to the point tutorial, but the guy's voice cracks me up because it sounds like he wants to be totally sarcastic about the entire thing.
worked super easy following the video penny is best as you're less likely to damage the product, if you cant do it like he shows there something wrong with you
Done! Only a one-cent US coin (penny) fits the gap between the ear pad frame and the hinge! It was easier than I thought. The new gel pads should snap audibly into place. And then inspect the new gel pad frames to make sure they are fully seated all around.
Ok so these are really easy to get off and much more difficult to get in so when you go to do this swap and it takes longer than this video you aren’t alone. But these are soooo much better than the original pads they seem to block out a little bit more noise than them as well.
Nice video. The stock walkers pads are the worst I have ever come across by FAR. It feels like there is nothing in them, especially after a bit of wear. Literally any $10 earmuffs stock pads will kick their ass. The walker gel pads are decent, you may want to try after market though.
they're very nice but jesus christ these things are hard to snap on. notice the cut in the video when he suddenly finishes it. The tolerances on these are really shitty and you may need some herculean effort to get the job done
Line it up and push hard, right on the padding. It's not easy, you kind of have to try opposite corners at the same time or something, so it doesn't just flip out of place.
They are absolutely worth the investment. I feel cool to the touch and they sealed a lot better if you have a hat or glasses on
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I’ve watched multiple videos on changing out my new Prohear gel ear pads and “THIS” was the video that I found the MOST helpful! Thank You for this.
I'm really glad this video is here so I wasn't just ganking on the old foam one
Clear and concise. Straight to the point. Great video!

Thank you so much for such a wickedly simple video.
Great video. So much more helpful than the Prohear video.
Thanks so much. Was a little tricky but didn't take long!

Very helpful video. Once I knew where to pry the pad, I found a screwdriver bit on my Leatherman to be easier than a penny.
Great tip using a penny. Thanks!

Will these work for the slims?
Yes, I put them on today
I don't get why it does not comes with those pads in the first place

My dumb ass was trying to use a knife... Don't use a dime it needs to be a penny lol and have the rod vertical with the ear pad when you do it😊
Yup, a 30 second video with all you need to know. I think I will buy another hearing protector.
Thank you!
Nice video but WTF ! You need a tool for disassembly 😂😂 thx 🙏
TANKS TO SHARE DUDE
why are you SHOUTING?
@@ergosum5260 Sorry friend, I'm not shouting, just thanking you for sharing your knowledge
I cannot for the life of me put the gel pad in. Such a shitty lip/click interface. Dumb design
Me neither.
You literally just push it on see you sure you have the right one?

@@oo7moses yep. I eventually got it. Was way more difficult than it had to be.
@@ActuallyJangoyeah this is a bullshit design

А что так можно было 😂😂😂
…why are you talking like that?
Hearing loss
I lost 3 fingers doing this but I finally got it and it's worth it.
As long as it wasn’t your trigger finger or the one you use to wave at ignorant drivers with. If you got those you’re still good 👍
