Default Re: How to take apart a key fob without destroying it!

Before you tear into your fob with your new snap ring pliers, you need to know what is holding the fob’s case together. Two things hold it together: some epoxy/sealant and two sets of “bumps” that snap into place when the fob case is sealed shut.

See the bumps circled below. Also, note the black marks around the edges of the “male” side of the case. That’s old dried up epoxy/sealant.
