2) Grab the sides of the mouse and then squeeze to start separating the base from the top shell. Carefully pull on the back of the base to unclip it from the top shell. Do not pull it too far as there is an electrical cable attached between the two.

11) Stick on some new mouse skates. They are positioned in the same spot as they were on the original base.
