Toneport ux2, how to open

Hi folks,
I have a UX2 which has a flaky line out, and instead of trying to send it in for repair (I'm sure it's far out of warranty and would cost a fortune), I'd rather just crack it open and replace the 1/4" jack myself. Thing is... I'd rather not literally *crack* it open. Anyone have any tips on how to (gently) open the case to get to the innards? I can't seem to find any obvious means to do so.
Thanks!
EDIT
After trying desperately to pry the thing open with a putty knife (ala mac mini), I finally figured it had to be held together by the nuts on the 1/4" jacks. I was right -- unscrew the nuts, remove the plastic pieces surrounding the jacks, and remove the four screws on the XLR connectors. That's it. I'm glad I didn't apply too much pressure trying to pry it open!

Thanks so much for this. I came with exactly the same problem. And was about to go with the knife. Would have destroyed it.

There is nothing under the labels or the rubber feet. Those plastic bits surrounding the jacks were the key. Not all of them but some of them have six short protrusions on them that hold the top and bottom of the unit together. They need to be removed on the front and back of the unit. Then it opens easily. I used a socket from a small socket wrench set.

Really thanks for this help. Saved my UX2 and it is now sounding great.

And .. erm.. I am guilty lf the WD40 too.
