Powerbook Medic has a PDF [here|http://www.powerbookmedic.com/Manuals/Apple-Key-Replacement.pdf] showing this. However, you are unlikely to fix this problem if it is the electrical contacts. They are sealed between layers of plastic sheet. Taking the keys off only reveals the mechanical parts, so if the key feels normal, taking it apart probably won't help.
