I used a razor blade to cut through the glue/sealant that holds the 
cover down; it was then quite easy to lever off. I eased the tension 
back by 3 notches; just be careful to hold everything in place when 
you undo the screw in there, otherwise the whole thing could probably 
unwind. I think it works great. There is no doubt that throttle 
response is crisper.
