[QUOTE="Andrew Jensen, post: 73107, member: 3006"] Re: disassembly of an sm86 First, unscrew the silver windscreen and set aside. Then screw the single screw on the body you've already found clockwise until well recessed. Then gently but firmly push on the XLR pins and the whole assembly will push out the other side where you removed the windscreen. It doesn't push all the way out, as there is some sort of retaining clip that prevents this. EDIT: I just discovered that if you push from the mic end (not on the delicate mic element, however, but on the foam under it), the assembly will push all the way out toward the pins.
