First off, remove the magnetic cover and remove the 3 stock skates. You can reuse them if you pull them off carefully. Logitech skates consist of the actual Teflon skates and a second layer of foamy adhesive. Make sure you pull off both still attached to each other.

Start at the back and just clip the whole cover open. Don't be afraid to use a little force. Either use a clipping tool, or just use 3 fingers and your fingernails to grab into the gap and pull it off.

Remove these 4 screws which attach the 2 main buttons to the rest of the module.

After removing these 4 screws, just pull out the whole internal module.

Pull out this plastic bolt which holds the scroll wheel module in place. I suggest you use something sharp to push at the bolt from the one end and pull it with your fingernails from the other side at the same time. It will require some force. After it's out, you can simply lift the whole scroll wheel module off the PCB.

Thanks for the guide, i used some isopropanol to clean the switches instead of chaning them as i had a problem with the right one and now it works flawless.
