I think that this:
Can a coil be wrapped around a bar magnet with little risk of breaking?
might give you a pretty decent idea of how it works

If it is a modern Danelectro, then the pickup is epoxied together, so good luck getting the pickup apart. I have a modern Danelectro from 1999 that I bought new. The stock pickups sounded lousy, and I upgraded to some custom shop Seymour Duncans, and sold the stock pickups rather than try to rewind them to make them sound better. I haven't regretted my decision at all.
