For disassembly, drill out the rivet on the middle pin (see Picture 1). Once the rivet is removed, you can take out the pin, and the entire top plastic part will come off.

Next, carefully cut off the broken part exactly 5mm above the hole (see Picture 5).

Print the replacement part, ensuring it includes support (I used PETG with grid support). The replacement part should fit into the original part. Since the holes align, gluing them together is optional but not required.

Best replace the metal pin with a M5x70 screw and a self locking M5 nut.
