New to the forums, I'll post some in progress resto pics when I can

Just towed home my '68 Charger resto project last week and started by taking apart the grill. I have searched the forums and, like others, the thing is one of my headlight actuators seems to stick when compressing. I could easily drop a couple hundred bucks on a repop, or I can just take this thing apart and figure out what's wrong with it. I know the grill is definitly from a 68 (as well as actuators) so they work off an internal magnet. My question is, can the casing of the actuator be disassembled? I'm not sure if there's a sealant or possibly just too much built up rust holding the casing halves together and I'm putting some elbow grease  :brickwall: into disassembly without destruction; If anyone has any insight, let me know.  :2thumbs:
