Dismantling the Key Fob

The soft plastic part of my key fob is not in good shape. I ordered a replacement "shell" and it seems to be pretty well made. I need to take apart my old key fob to transfer the circuit board and the metal key to the new "shell". Does anyone know how to dismantle a key fob?

I have tried a bit and am pretty much destroying the old one. I don't really want to destroy it. I can use a dremel tool but in the end I may just replace the soft plastic insert (the part with the key and trunk symbol on it).

The key fob is built like a tank.

Thanks...

The items on the right of the picture is mostly the new "shell" parts.
