Here's what George Merryweather had to say about teardown on the servo.
"I have had servo come apart easily, and not so easily. To over
simplify, it
is just a twist n lock deal. Once you have removed the peripherals
it
should untwist. I have used penetrating oil, also gentle prying at
each
indent to loosen rust, then put it in a vise and twist. I also have
a
pre-drilled piece of flat stock that I use as a lever. The servo is
spring
loaded. Not overly dangerous. More startling than anything else.
Once it
starts to unlock, then just continue slowly.
Sorry, this is probably not the magic that you were looking for, but
that
is how I do it.
Thanks.
I can try to clarify more if you like."
His instructions were right on and the two halves of the housing
separated (with some resistance and difficulty, of course) with very
light, repairable damage, even though they were rusted together pretty
badly in a couple of places. I had to use a hammer and punch to rotate
the top section. Don't worry about loosing the spring. It's big.
Thanks again to everyone.
