This is NOT how you open them!!! I broke one of mine doing this. The white part SLIDES UP! DO not ply it open!!! Slide it up ( it needs a LITTLE ply around the silver part. ) It comes off then there are TWO SCREWS holding the brown part down. Once you remove the two screws ( they are under the white part ) then you can slide up the brown part too.
