'Fine print'
I am in no way responsible if you void your warranty or lose parts during the process of disassembly/reassembly. So don't go crying because Brendan made me lose a part and now I have to pay Spyderco to have it fixed.
Anyhow, here it goes. It went back to Spyderco to have some screws replaced and a burr removed (which was left there I guess from manufacturing). To begin, the Dodo's one of the Spydercos with the most parts so DO NOT LOSE ANY! Primarily, the parts were immersed in warm, soapy water, then a toothbrush with some more soap was applied to them and they cleaned right up---extremely effective.
*I used a T9 and a T6 driver for the screws, but note...I've had both the pivot screws and clip screws replaced by Spyderco because the previous owner had mauled them up. Thus it may be different from an original Dodo. The screws are the same as the ones on a Manix*
