I only had the posts here to follow and CJC's book of the Mod. Neither were very helpful as the yellow Excall II headphone come apart different than the blue ones. Pretty straight forward sorry I did not take pictures as I went. But will explain .
First off just pull the soft ear pads off the yellow headphones. Take out the 4 each screws. Next with a pair of cutting pliers cut out a slot to slip the wire out without cutting wire. You are left with a pair of wired waterproof transducers. These will need to be highly trimmed. Picture of first cut,will need to be smaller.
The new set of Peltor's headphones( I used the red Black) separates right at the red black seam toward the big cup. Not the hole side. Pry with a tiny screw driver while pulling. When opened you find a whitish plastic inner cup with gray foam. The transducers need to fit inside the white cup on top of the gray foam. More precise cutting will work better here. I cut mine around the most inner ring. This proved to be too big. I ended up cutting a complete circle around the transducer leaving about and 1/8 inch of black. The new headphone need three holes for the wire's. I cut a V at the bottom of both the red section and outer black cup. I cut V section at the top each headphone again both the red section and black section. (Note the top holes are smaller wires) You will also need to make a cut on the white plastic to allow a space for the wires to exit. I then use a Dremel motor tool to round and smooth any sharp edges.
Assembly is straight forth also. Just take the transducer and place in the circle with the gray foam, direct the wire out the slots.
( I removed the knots in the wires) Take both pieces and put back together ( making a sandwich of the transducer on the inner red ring from the head set assembly) and snap together. Do the same to the other side. I used shoe goo to fill the holes and wire tied the wire to the wire portion of the head set.
The total time was about 1 hr that included searching for tools. I used a pair of diagonal pliers and shop scissors, a tiny Phillips head and flat head screw driver.
The only reason to do this was to eliminate the wind ocean noise that always bothers me. Now about the warranty unless you pull the headphone wires out of the unit I see no reason for loosing it.(they may claim a little heavier) You never cut any wires and your not changing the headphone. Their just repackaged!
