The Res/On/Off slider will prise off gently with a flat bladed jewellers screwdriver (plastic trim tools are too thick). Care should be taken as there is a small spring in it (about 2mm in diameter). Both the front and rear plates can be removed in the same fashion, with both being held in by four plastic hooks. The button mechanism is encased in the arm structure, and although held in place at the back by a lug (white) that can be pushed in, there doesn't seem to be any slack in the wiring to allow it to be removed completely.

It may mean removing the arm completely, but let's see how MJ fares with the Dremel. I've probably only used cruise control on mine a handful of times, but not that to attack it any more.
