    • Remove the three bolts from the clamshell using a 4mm screwdriver.

    • The clam shell is the hard plastic that protects the internal wiring of the prongs.

    • During reassembly, remember to replace the nuts into their respective holes if they fell out during disassembly.

    • Remove the top piece of the clamshell.

    • When reassembling, run the wires within the grooves to prevent pinching. If the wires are pinched, they can become damaged.

    • Mark the wires with a marker in unique patterns to remember their order.

    • In this case, a solid line marks the wire that leads to the prong that is on the outside and near to the middle prong. A dashed line marks the wire leading to the prong that is far from the middle prong.

    • Be careful to cut all three wires to the same length.

    • Cut the wires below the break point.

    • Usually the break point is at the place where the wires enter the clamshell.

    • Start by cutting small amounts at a time; if you did not cut below the break point, you may cut more of the wire as needed.

    • Loosen the grub screws on each prong using a 2mm screwdriver.

    • You can remove the screws. However, it is easier to just loosen them for reassembly.

    • Remove the wires from the prongs using fingers or needle nose pliers.

    • Set the prongs aside.

    • If pulling straight out is difficult, try a gentle twisting motion inline with the prong.

    • Peel the wires of the cord apart about 1" (2cm).

    • Use the part of the wire that you cut off as a reference for how far to peel the wires apart.

    • Strip the wires, about 1/4", or 5 mm, from the end.

    • Stripping the wires is removing the plastic insulation to expose the inner metal conductor.

    • Repeat for each wire.

    • Twist the loose wire strands together.

    • Repeat for each wire.

    • This step facilitates reinsertion of the wires into the prongs.

Conclusie

To reassemble your bodycord, follow steps 1-8 in reverse order, skipping steps 3 and 6.

To keep your bodycord in working order longer, remember to always pull it out of the sockets by holding onto the plastic, not the wires.
