its astonishing that this isnt an obvious point, but why struggle with disassymbly if you do not have to?? It will take a skilled mechanic atleast 30 mins to disassymble where as a socket, hammer and extension can take it apart in 10 mins at the most and half of that time is packaging the spring and retainers seperate from each other and putting identification on them. Think about it, knowlege never hurts.
