With thanks to Jon and Chris to guide me through this process.  Once you know what to do, it's not too difficult. 

- remove the big sidewheel.

-  remove the Nikko logo (it's glued !).

- remove the gold coloured screw.  Unscrewing it will put some pressure on the cover above it; the cover is glued as well but will come loose.

- remove the cap with the 2 off-center holes.  You need a tool to do this.  I made a very simple tool using a piece of wood and 2 small nails.  To unscrew, turn clockwise !!

- inside is the first o-ring; it may still be on the cap you just removed.

- pull off the small sidewheel.  This will reveal the second o-ring.

- reassemble in reverse order.
