2. Step 2
  Locate an easy seam for entry and insert the metal spudger to separate the plastic. Use the spudger in multiple places if necessary.
  
  Opening the base may require exerting significant force as it is bound together tightly. This step can be dangerous.
  
  The spudger is designed to make this step easier.
