      • We recommend using a plastic spudger to prevent damage to your controller. However, using a metal spudger, as shown in the picture, makes the work easier.

      • Hold firmly the controller, place the spudger into the top seam of the controller and carefully work all the way to the bottom.

      • Pry the side of handle away from the controller by moving the spudger back and forth around the side handle's seam.

      • Repeat this process for both side handles.
