I find the biggest problem is the casing. It consists of a small box and two
things on the outside, with tiny clips. It's these clips that always brake
so I simply glue them. They have more power than you'd expect given their
size, as an example of what they can do I have a small 4 legged walker
posted (page 'mini walker' on www.bvandam.net)
I think someone did indeed take it apart and there were really tiny gears
inside. And no, he couldn't get it back together again.
