Editing Omron B2R series (section)

==Disassembly==
The reed module and slider are held in tightly, and attempting to remove either one risks damaging the switch. Attempting to pull out the reed module carries a minor risk of tearing off one of the legs. Attempting to pull out the slider is much higher risk: it appears to be POM, and is very hard and smooth, with very little to grip. The grip force required can crush the keystem, and the extraction force required to clear he slider stop can tear the slider stop apart.

Disassembling the illuminated version is not confirmed to be possible. The slider extraction force is so violent that it can rip the springs apart even though they are not held down and are freely removable. Disassembly likely requires a vice-like jig to hold the switch and slider tightly and pull out the slider slowly and firmly; this would achieve the desired extraction force without runaway motion and prevent damage to the springs. The springs would then come out still attached to the slider, allowing for cleaning to be conducted.
