Monitor 11 crossover question

Options
Just picked up a pair of monitor 11s . They are in bad shape but a good winter project. Strip vinyl and re-veneer...among other things. Would like to replace the binding posts...just wondering how to pull the crossover apart...thought I would ask before I break something.

    XO should be on the binding post cup. Pull out the cup after you remove and document the wires on the midwoofers. You'll need to remove the XO from the stand-offs on the cup to get to the binding post.
    Report back once you see all the glue we'll go from there.

    So I removed the crossover from the spools....now I have two spools of inductors but still no access to the binding posts.

    I think you're going to have to push the center pins back on those expandable white nylon rivets and then you will gain access to the binding posts.
