Module Removal Tool (MRT) - The Tool for Taking Your Keyport Apart Modules and faceplates snap on easily. Getting them back off is the part nobody warns you about, especially once you have two modules stacked on the same side and nothing to get underneath them with. The Module Removal Tool is the answer. It is a flat piece of stainless steel, 1.970" long and a millimeter thick, with a removal point on one end and a pin driver on the rounded edges. It pops stacked modules and faceplates off the chassis, tightens or loosens the Pivot pin, and slides onto the Pivot itself without disassembling anything. What the MRT Does Removes stacked modules - the removal point gets under a module that has another module on top of it, which is the situation a fingernail cannot solve. Removes faceplates - depress the center dimple, slide the plate back, lift it off. A paperclip works. This works better. Drives the Pivot pin - the rounded edges act as a screwdriver for tightening or loosening the pin when you reconfigure your stack. Rides along - the quick-add channel slides onto the Pivot pin without taking the chassis apart, so the tool lives on the thing it services. Where to Keep It The MRT slides onto your Pivot if you have a little room left on the pin, which is the ideal case since the tool is then always where the job is. If your stack is full, it is 0.1 oz and a millimeter thick: it disappears into a wallet, a bag pocket, or a standard keychain when paired with a Keyport ParaPull lanyard. The Jobs the MRT Is For Each of these is a routine Keyport task that goes faster with a thin, rigid tool shaped for it. Our how-to videos walk through all of them. Removing a stacked module - the hardest case, where an outer module blocks access to the one underneath it. Swapping faceplates - depress the center dimple, slide back, lift off. Setting up a Pivot 2.0 - the pin driver sets and holds the tension you want on the stack. Replacing a key in your Pivot - loosen the pin, swap the key, tighten it back. Setting up Anywhere Tools - same stacking hardware, same removal problem, same solution. Watch the faceplate removal technique at 1:25.

It is best for owners who swap faceplates regularly and want a purpose-built tool instead of a paperclip. It is best for anyone reconfiguring a Pivot stack, since the pin driver handles tightening and loosening without a separate screwdriver. It is best bought alongside your first module or faceplate rather than after the first time you cannot get one off. Build the Rest of the Carry Faceplates - the MRT is the recommended tool for swapping them, in any design. Modules - Pocket Flare 2.0, NEBA, WeeLINK, and MOCA2 all mount to the outer faces and all come off easier with this. Pocket Flare 2.0 - the most commonly stacked module, and the one people most often need help getting back off. Keyport Pivot - the chassis the MRT was built to service. Frequently Asked Questions: Module Removal Tool (MRT) Is there a video showing how this works? Yes. Our how-to guides cover removing a stacked module, installing and removing faceplates, Pivot 2.0 setup, and replacing a key. How do I remove a module from my Keyport Pivot? Work the removal point of the MRT under the edge of the module and lift. Stacked modules are the hard case, since the outer module blocks access to the one beneath it, and the MRT is shaped to get under it anyway. How do I remove a Keyport faceplate? Depress the center dimple, slide the faceplate backward, then lift it off. A paperclip or pen tip works. The MRT is faster and less likely to mark the plate. See it at 1:25 in the video. Do I actually need the MRT? Not if you run a bare chassis and never change anything. The moment you add a faceplate or a second module, you need something thin, rigid, and shaped for the job. Most people buy one after the first time they struggle with it. Can the MRT stay on my Pivot? Yes, if you have room left on the pin. The quick-add channel slides onto the pin without disassembling the chassis. If your stack is already full, keep it in a wallet, a bag, or on a keychain with a ParaPull lanyard. What is the pin driver for? The rounded edges of the MRT work as a screwdriver for the Pivot pin, so you can loosen it to add or remove keys and inserts, then tighten it back to the tension you want. Does the MRT work with the Keyport Slide? The MRT is built for the Keyport Pivot and Anywhere Tools stacks. Faceplates on other platforms still come off with the same dimple-and-slide technique using a paperclip or pen tip. What is it made of? Stainless steel, 1.0 mm thick, one piece, no moving parts. How big is it? 1.970" long, 0.590" wide, 0.039" thick, 0.1 oz. Thin enough to sit in a wallet without being noticed.
