Topic: How are the rods on the X axis attached to the black plastic ends?

So I have a bad extruder carriage and felt like I wanted to fix it and but it to a belt sander to make it flat, but.. How do you disassemble the X carriage? Are the X carriage rods glued in place in the black end pieces ?

Unfortunately most of this part is glued together permanently. How badly out of synch is it?

Glued together? Then how will I fix the Y-axis that was broken in shipping? Since the broken XY carriage was a common event, could you post replacement instructions for the affected parties?

That part can be completely removed by removing the according steel rods.
