You are going to want to start by taking the very back piece with the lock ring off and pull off the inside white plastic piece

After you get the white piece out you can pull the clip out that holds back the spring (easiest way is to slide a pair of skinny needle nose pliers inside the piece and push down on the spring to take the pressure off of it.) this is what you will end up with once everything comes apart, and this is the order things will need to be put in when reassembling.

Once you get it all apart and laid out, you can pull the cap off the end (the piece you push to open the window)

These 3 parts are the important ones. And they all separate from each other. The 2 skinnier pieces can be a little difficult to separate but they will come apart.

Next you will need to dremel out the bigger end of the housing until the camera fits inside. You don't want to go too much so it still fits kind of snug and you don't have to go real far inside the piece. This is a time consuming process because you will have to keep checking the fit. I would also suggest holding the other end with a pair of channel locks because it gets pretty hot.
