Hi Dick,
Well it was more the release lever had to be at a particular angle otherwise the mechanism wouldn't separate nicely. I don't recall anything looking like it was going to go ballistic (IIRC there's only one spring and it's a tension spring) ... I think you're reasonably safe as long as you don't warp anything too much.
I'm still not much closer to finding my EPR unfortunately ... the joys of moving ... heh

Thanks for the reply, Ray. I assumed the molded clips were holding me up, but I could't figure out if the release lever had anything to do with it. Also, because of the springs inside, I could visualize parts flying out as I forced it.

I did manage to do this at one point (back when I did the PS/2 mod actually!), from memory it involved some jiggling of the release lever as well. I didn't need to force it too hard but there are also the usual molded clips along the edges that need to be popped open IIRC ...
I'll have a look later on if I can still find it (I've been moving so things tend to get packed away so well I can't find them!)
