How to disassemble a 51SL?

How do you get these things apart?

I want to put a new keypad and bezel on.

Take battery and antenna off.
insert flat tip screwdriver between housing and battery latch. Carefully pry apart to separate the housing/UI from the rail containing the RF/Logic assemblies. When putting back together be sure to insert the screw driver again part way to help the connector line up again, failure to do so can result in bent pins on the connector.

I.S.

Wow,

That went well, it's pretty tight in there similar to a HT-1250

Thanks
