Hi Steve,

Yeah, they can be taken apart but with care like any of the other 
pads.  You'll notice that if you lift up the rubber rim the shell is 
stapled in to the plywood, it's just a matter of carefully pulling 
the staples out without cracking the shell.

I use a sharp pointy knife to get it started and then a broad flat 
screwdriver once there is enough room to slip it under.  You should 
be able to tap the staples back into their original holes once 
you've done your repairs.

Cheers,

Matt.
