Don't bother with it, just get it relpaced. The heater wires inside 
are not soldered. Everything either clips or crimps into place. You 
can't solder anything back into place because it wont stick to any of 
the metal inside.

The gasket on the bottom does 2 jobs: It seals the vacum chambers, 
and comprises the lower diaphram. The diapharm portion itself has to 
be taught in place to seal correctly.

Over time, insects, and other crud can clog the ambient chamber. If 
you open it up, to run the risk of unseating the gasket, and 
preventing it from resealing itself properly.

Save yourself the time, and just replace the entire unit if it has 
been deemed to be the cause of a problem.
