Generally you just undo the relevant screws, and unclip the relevant clips.

But some of those are devils to find. Look online for a manual.
This is where some manufacturers score higher than others.

Yes, I do accept that - but you have a logical brain and would be able to do it if you chose to - it's only a case of following instructions, it's not a subjective skill to learn - like a car engine

It's what experts are for. You could spend hours doing it and get really stressed by the whole process or you can bolster the self esteem of a young chap with dubious facial hair and a pony-tail and keep him away from painting Warhammer figures for half an hour.

that sounds like a viable option. I had a similar problem once, looked at all the YouTube tutorials and then took it to a man in a back-street computer shop. He decided that the official spare part was too expensive and repaired the existing bit, charging me �30.
