SOG PowerLock Disassembly?

I’m interested in instructions for the correct disassembly of the SOG PowerLock (2.0), as I ordered a different primary blade for the tool. I don’t care too much for the combo blade. That being said, would it be worth replacing the scissors with the combo blade on this tool?

I don't know if this helps, but I've recently disassembled an old pat pend. Powerlock.
The new 2.0 has different bolts, but the idea is still the same.
It may be a little ackward with the gear covers on the 2.0, but you can make it work.

What did you clean it in?

Cleaning vinegar and an electric toothbrush.

Found the video. It’s buried on SOG’s YouTube site, and for the first version of the PowerLock. The only difference was the type of fastener on the tool. So, now I have a straight blade! Next, comes the serrated blade (I just ordered one) to replace the scissors, and a custom made and detachable version of the scissors for the 1/4 inch adapter. For the serrated blade I’ll likely need to get some brass spacers, make something, or maybe even use the lanyard loop as one for it to fit well. I may ditch the file so I don’t have to do much customization, and carry it with the tool.
