you want to be able to reassemble it after its apart?? LOL not likely to happen the first time you tear one apart.. Just go at it. get some needle nose pliers, pull the led cap off and start fishin the stuff out. On the connector end. You can put an atty on it,( preferably a dead one) and start wiggling it back and forth (forcibly) , and hope the batt connector comes out before the atty connector does..try some heat too if you need to...

what exactly are you trying to get from it?

The battery connector is press fit into place, often with some glue, to keep it fixed in position. I have had mixed success heating the battery with a lighter around where the connector enters the tube. Becareful not to damage the battery connector threads with a pliers. The suggestion above to use a dead atomizer to wiggle the battery connector free is a good idea.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, i'm gonna try to do my own passthrough today, but i'm afraid i already damaged the threads, let's see what happens today.

Just try to screw an atty on the threads of the connector before you do anything.

That way, you will know if the threads are OK or not.

definately protect the threads.

my best luck has been with a flat file's edge..jewler's files would be better...i use them to make a shallow cut where i know the mating surface is diagonally and the threads just hop out in your hand practically..and you dont destroy your salvaged threads "roundness" or anything which occasionally happens when wiggling. You could use a hacksaw to make the shallow cut, but its way too hard to do carefully unlike jewlers files (available in lowes tool dept usually near the other files in a little pack..prob available loads of places)
