NEED HELP/ ROCO SHARK

I just took a look at my Sharknose - the trucks on mine (which is boxed as an "E R Models" version though I know it's Roco) have the sideframe/baseplate moulding clipped onto the truck mainframe. It looks as though they're designed to be unclipped from the inner end (next to the loco fuel tank) as the clips at that end look as though they're designed to allow you to put a flat screwdriver blade in and gently lever them off - after that you'd just unhook the other end and remove the assembly. I've not dismantled this one at all though I have had the truck frames off my FP7s before now (had to carve a little off so they didn't foul the Kadee #30-series coupler boxes, and also needed to file the baseplate a bit as they were grounding on Kadee magnets) and they were easy enough to remove - didn't seem at all brittle. Hope this helps!
