Got the focusing ring in the mail today, it was backordered for sometime. I guess they didn't expect them to break already, lol. The rep told my the warranty will NOT be void if I change it myself, so I had a go at it. Ps, they also sent me the zoom-rubber ring in the same package, nice to have a backup. Anyway, it took about 2 minutes, including pictures.

Congrats ;D...you're now Canon's Certified Tech.

Thanks for the info

Re: 24-70 II cracked focusing ring.

With old lenses off warranty I have done quite a few fixes like gluing af/mf switches, replaced mounts and screws, even fixed a crooked barrel. But this is an expensive and new lens, and I do not want to use the wrong glue so it never can be removed again and have Canon say, "Oh, its been tampered with, sorry no warranty".

Just to be clear, they weren't saying to glue the rubber ring on. They were saying to put glue in the crack, let it dry, and then put it back on

Glad you were able to easily obtain a replacement band.
