They can be opened.

I was able to snap the lid off the old one that I took off the car. It has small snaps on the inside of the lid, but the plastic has become brittle and "shed" a lot pf pieces. There is a small cross section o-ring under the cap to seal the two halves together.

I figured that it wasn't designed to be taken apart for servicing, especially after 23 years of service, but I can't see paying that much for what amounts to the failure of a two dollar part inside the assembly.

I have the o-rings that go onto the assembly already. It's funny how the parts catalog calls out for three o-rings and there are only two required.

I wonder how long that JB Weld will hold up? I really don't want to take that darned thing off again anytime soon.
