I went to rpf.invisionzone.com and searched for this step by step tutorial but no luck. I even did a google search.
Does anyone have a step by step tutorial for modding an Anakin EpIII FX saber for using a removeable blade (and maybe even one that includes wiring up a luxeon LED)?

I've removed the blade, without permanently destroying it. It can be placed back in and everything works.
If I have some time, I'll get a picture tutorial going.

This tutorial is kinda dated. The new Anakin ROTS and Vader ESB doesn't have the ability to have removable blades unless you do a Luxeon conversion to them or do some serious modification. They removed the AT connector and it's hardwired again.

Yeah, I found that one out the hard way. I first got an Anakin FX in the summer of '04, and about two or three months ago, after carefully reading this thread, decided to try to take out the blade. I got it out, and saw that it was removable, but unfortunately I had to cut the wires for the activation box, and couldn't get them to stay together. I really thought it would be awesome to have a working, removable blade for halloween, though, so I went ahead and bought another Anakin FX, took it apart, and then found out the blade wasn't removable. I ended up ruining that activation box, too, anyway though, lol. At least I have a pretty prop to hang on my belt now, though.
Also, I was wondering, does anyone know how to get the blade out of a Mace Windu FX? I got one a little while back, for Halloween, but unfortunately, somewhere along the way, it got dropped on concrete, and the tip of the blade cracked a little, and now I've noticed that the last several inches doesn't light up at all anymore. I love the hilt though, so I've decided to just ditch the blade (the Luke RotJ is more fun, anyway) and keep the hilt as a prop.

There's a Mace Tutorial here somewhere.
Took a friend's apart, not the new one, the first one.
Some of it's pretty obvious. Basically unscrew everything you see. Watch out for the little gold nubs inside the battery area. Pull back the material close to the hilt and unscrew that screw. You'll feel where it is through the material.
Pry the switch off carefully.
Fairly easy.
Also, for the latest FX sabers, is it possible to add a connector to the wires?

I asked this question in another thread, but I'll ask again, does anyone know when the DM saber comes out? And is it true that you have to buy two separate 1/2 pieces to get the full thing... totalling up to $200?

I'm stuck on step 7. I can't pull the blade out. Do I have to pry out those wierd orange things that look like buttons? Sorry, I don't know much about PARTS of the lightsaber.

No one knows yet, as no one has their to try to mod yet..
As for the two halfs yes it will be bought in two halves with a connecter whether it will be 200 for both I doubt.

^^^ Thanks. Um... I'm still stuck on how to do this. Did I do something wrong? The blade won't come out.
I really want to get the blade out really badly.

Well hey, I just wanted to thank everyone on this thread for their input. I recently bought a "damaged" anakin ep3 force FX saber off of eBay. The blade didn't light up anyways so I used removal steps and now i have a nice lightsaber replica for about $40!!

Hey guys,
Just to let you know. If you have the Anakin FX saber with the real metal brass pins in the "recharge ports" aka the the black holes below the emitter with gold pins in them. You have the newer version that you CANNOT have a removable blade.
The Anakin FX sabers with the plastic painted pins is the older one that you CAN have the removable blade on.
Just thought I would throw in an FYI.
