Key Disassembly/Repair

Anyone taken one of these apart before? My key does not stay closed so I grabbed another working one to try to tear it apart and see if I can fix mine. The 2 parts come apart easily with the removal of one screw. What I want to do it get the key end apart. It looks like it's 2 halves but I can't see how it's held together and if it's even possible to separate them. Any tips or tricks? Thanks!

It apears to me that you already have taken it apart.

It's pretty easy if you have time. [thumbup]

The two halves are glued together. Here is a detailed instruction on how to open it: http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=31639.
