Has the Master 175 design changed?

Postby Eazy123 » 9 Oct 2017 15:46

I had a couple of older ones and used to be able to get in and lift the "fork" to get them to pop. Got a newer one the other day and not only is it a PITA to get a shim/pick in there, but I can't seem to pop it like I used to. Is there a new design, and if so, is there a new technique to getting one open?

I have the question/concern as you do. Seems like Master quietly reworked the 175, the old way of shim/bypass does not work anymore. You can not decode it the old fashion way also. Just found this out today hence I came here looking for answers.
