[Yaesu] Opening Yaesu handheld battery packs for cell replacement

Mike:
 First of all, nickel metal hydride require a rapid charger to charge them while nicad batteries can be charged with either a slow charger or rapid charger. Also, the price of ready to go battery packs is so reasonable in price now that why would you want to fool around with attempting a repack if you've never done it before? 
 Cheers from Fern

Does anyone have any recommendations for opening subject NiCad packs (specifically FNB-41's & 42's) for cell replacement? Has anyone attempted replacement with NiMH cells? Thanks de Mike K6QD
