So i'm trying to disassemble the case(s) of my CH yokes in orderto (hopefully) effect the necessary repairs.

I've loosened all of the phillips head screws but I can't get the upper and lower halves of the case to separate.

What else can I do , or do I have do to move on with this. As always, any advice/opinions/guidance is appreciated and invited. THX

Never had any of the CH products apart myself, just my Saitek stick. So we're solidly in the guessing game here.

One possibility is that they hid some screws under the rubber feet you probably have on the bottom of the unit.
Second would be some form of mechanical clamping that snaps in place and needs to be slightly pulled apart by carefully prying with a flat screw driver or similar tool...the key here would be the location of those.
And finally they may have used adhesives to avoid squeaking of the two halves against each other.

Since you have two units, one may have to be sacrificed a bit more to figure out just how things work or come apart.
Another possible avenue is a simple google search using the controllers name and the terms "taking apart" or "disassembling". With a bit of luck you might get a how to tutorial or ytube video for the steps required.

I'd go with Bill's suggestion of screws under the rubber feet. My CH yoke has 2 screws hidden under the feet, a pain in the butt getting the feet off intact so you can put them back on when you are done, but in order to take it apart you have to.

Maybe this picture will be of some help to you, it was to me when working on my yoke.

I kind of figured out the screws under the feet by myself. I've got to have my nephew help me do this stuff, though, 'cause my hands are so messed up. but he's been doing it and we are taking baby steps. thanks, you guys, for all of the advice and guidance. I have no doubt that I'll be back for more!

Whoops! Sorry Stefan! For some reason when I was typing that out I got it in my head that Bill "Lionheart" Ortis was the one that posted that. Teach me to give advice when I'm sleepy....

No worries mate, I am honored to be confused with the great Bill Lionheart Ortis. He was probably just too busy creating the next great flying creation for all of us to post.
