I'll try to post pic's eventually. The first body I tried it on I REALLY didn't care about, so it was good practice. The second body was the one I was concerned with. I had just got it from Ebay and when it came in the prop bar was bent. I tried to pull it up a bit to straighten it and ended up pulling the whole thing out. So, at this point, the body is now a piece of junk. This IS a fact. If the propeller mechanism doesn't turn and the prop falls flush with the body then it belongs in the customizer pile. The only money you'd get from it would be from someone who thought they could fix it or a customizer. Once you come to this realization then you really have no issues with taking it apart. (On a side note, I am a mechanic so I do have a lot of patience and a keen ability to fix things.) So, yeah, this might not be the thing for you to try at home with something you're pretty much happy with. I bought this one for $1.25 plus $8 shipping so I really just wanted to fix it up, didn't realize it was going to be a 40 minute process. But I'm happy with the results and it CAN BE DONE!
