Do it as Elle says, not as I did. Before I knew about the warranty I
disassembled one (ignoring the warning on the housing - that was made for
people who didn't know what they were doing <8^P). The thing is... there is
a reverse-wrapped spring inside that housing and it is pretensioned. The
spring had eaten into the shield over it. About the time I got the damaged
shield removed the spring did the "spring snake in the peanut brittle can"
thing and flew past parts of me I'd rather not have sliced up. I eventually
got the spring back in its hiding place and placed a newly fashioned shield
over it.

Good judgement comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgement.
