Perhaps (although I'd guess it would be a tricky job if at all possible)
but I'd rather get a new first that's easier/cheaper for me to service.
The MK10 is bound to get scratched again, last time *I* replaced the piston
stem O-ring it took me about half an hour to dig it out (actually
eventually someone else got it out for me).  Besides I've had the shits
with Scubapro (or at least the Aussie distributors) since they reniged on
the life time parts warrenty I supposedly got when I first bought some of
my regs and then jacked up all the prices (I don't know maybe there was a
change of ownership or something but you don't build a loyal consumer base
letting that sort of thing happen).  I'd rather give my business to someone
else.  The Apeks firsts are so easy to service it's not funny and service
kits are cheap and straight forward to order (only 5 kits for the whole
range of regs and accessories from memory).

Cheers,

Simon
