    So I bought a bow that came with a Black Gold amp 3 pin sight, but the bubble fluid had leaked out. I contacted Black Gold (awesome customer service btw) and they sent me a free bubble. I just don't know how to take the old one off and attach the new one.
    Any help?

    I've never had to do it before but i'd say figure out the correct positioning of it on the sight then use a little super glue or hot glue maybe? whatever adhesive seems the safest.

    Actually, the bubble level on my (2002) HHA OL5000 sight fell off last year. They sent me a replacement that I put back on with AAE fast set gel, and it hasn't moved since. There is a slight indentation in the bottom of the site to house the bubble. To be honest, I don't really even use it, I just replaced it because I was used to seeing it there. lol

    Mine is not allen wrench, should I just pull the old one off and sand off any glue/residue?

    I have an Ascent Ambush and had to replace the bubble level after dropping the sight housing. Black Gold also sent me a new one at no cost. There was a small screw on the bottom of the sight housing. Don't remember the wrench size but it was tiny.

    I would bring it to a shop so they can set up the third and second axis correctly that way you don't have to take the level back off
