i just took a quick look at my whale, its still disassembled, the long screws hold the top and bottom sections of the black body together. they dont go into the green. the green only snaps on, no screws.
i think it will be easier to take the green off if you get the black sections separated though.

your positive the screwdriver is long enough? if they are stripped, you can try a tap and dye set??? or decide if you really need to take off the green body. what are you trying to do by taking it off? other issues to address?

There are a couple of things you can try...
1) place a piece of a flat, wide rubber band on the tip of your screw driver to get more hold on the screw, making sure you really press down as you unscrew 2) use a socket set to get more torque. 3) as a last resort, drill the screws out, then use a tap and dye set to rethread it. If you're just trying to restore it, I wouldn't bother taking it apart. If you want to do a custom with it, however, splitting is your best option. Good luck, man. |

I GOT IT ALL APART!!!! The baby oil worked almost instantly! I put a number of dabs along the seem where the tabs in the back are and rubbed it in a little bit to get it to settle in because I was able to get the four tabs from the front and the middle to pop off but the guys in the back were holding strong. Once I got the baby oil in there, I just jostled the green shell a bit and *POP!* So I got everything disassembled, washed, baby-oiled all the surfaces (and undersides), washed with warm soapy water again to get it off, rinsed and reassembled! Didn't replace any stickers, so I still have all originals on there! She looks beautiful, but now I sorta think I need an army of these. Anyone got a Cutter I can have? lol!

Nope its not, but you can open it cut the bottom of where the driver sits, down by his feet, then he/she will fit. You will not be able to see the cut unless you look inside, so unless you're trying to sell it, no one would ever know just by looking at it. Unless they know that 25ths don't fit in it in the first place! lol
