    tops off and the cable comes out. just make sure the spring and bits dont go flying as putting them back together is a right royal pain in the rear.

    I have done this many times..... its not as scary as people make out, just be gentle taking caps off, there is normally one spring that unclips but its easy to see where it goes. Before you put cap back on I always flush out and debris/dirt thoroughly with GT85.
