    The bell halves of some boosters are held together with a clamp and are easy to open. However, if it has a series of tabs or castellations around the join, these need to be twisted say 15 degrees. I opened a few of this type with a chain welded to a length of pipe (not unlike some oil filter removers). I placed some rubber around the outside then put the chain over it. Put the lot into a well mounted vice and untwist the two halves. You have to overcome the initial stiction of the rubber but once it moves it's generally easy from there.

    It looked like it had tabs that has been crimped, didn't feel keen trying to crack it open without a manual or proper instructions, last thing I needed was to fuck it.
    Will be ready Monday I'm told.
