Tele neck pickup

[jkap5]

Does anyone know how to change the cover of a tele neck pickup?  I want to get a gold one but at the price that I want, they only come in silver.  It doesn't look like there's any screws, sow does it just slide off or what?

I believe there are some tabs that go into the flat work that are bent over once in place. You should be able to unbend and remove these. You can see these tabs in this photo.

Thats pretty much it... except if its got a lot of wax in it.  Sometimes, holding the pickup in your hand a bit (15m or so) is all it takes to soften things.
