HP33E repair

Now as the batt pack passed by (not original, just two wire-soldered NiMH), I want to open and clean it as the power pins are "shiny blue" :).
I also like to see for any more corrosion.
Here's the problem: I cant remove the lower shell. The opposite end to the screws seems fixed. Are there any hidden screws I missed? If not I must suppose a previous owner glued it, maybe because some nozzles are broken.
The net provides not much information on the 33E.

Start here for pointers on how to open it.

And here, and here...

And then, one day, we will have a nice book from Geoff... :)
