We opened our 42mm up today. Once you've got the four screws out, everything's pretty easy to take apart.
That was the little gearbox, not the 56mm. I can't vouch for the assembly of the 56, but there are good odds that it's the same, so if you just go slow and make sure you don't lose or break anything, you should be fine.
Before you close it up, make sure you clean and lube it up if you got any dirt in the gears or lost a lot of the grease.
