If you get to taking it apart,, BE CAREFUL!!!
If memory serves me, there's a loaded spring in there, that'll throw you back, if you're not prepared.. If it's a "twist apart", I put one part in the vise, and drilled holes in a piece of plywood for the mounting holes and centre, then twisted the plywood to disengage the halves..
Definately get a manual, or perhaps some-one can post a link..
