Has any one dismantled a Schaller M4?

I have a Kramer 450B with a damaged Schaller M4 Machine head on the treble side. The string post has broken at the base of the slot. I have been looking for a replacement but this type are a bit scarce. Schaller say they can be dismantled but only by destroying the inscribed cover on the back. I just wondered whether anyone has managed to get one apart without destroying the cover, it is a push fit apparently. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If any one has a spare one I would be interested in buying or swapping for the full set of later M4's seen below.

This is what I need

These are available for a swap.

Thanks for the advice, seems like a good plan, I think a bit of heat may help too. I bought the later set to supply a new string post but it seems a shame to butcher one if I can avoid it. I still hope to find a replacement but am offering the full set as swap, someone may have one lurking in a drawer somewhere! I will let you know I get on.
