Chinese spindle disassembly

Those are often called “aviation” connectors (don’t ask me why…)

Some folks succeeded in grounding the spindle themselves internally taking the back off, like in this random image:

My feeling is that things may be slightly more complicated when disassembling a water-cooled spindle (due to the need for the assemble to be water-tight, which may be why they glued it or something). I wonder if it’s worth the risk, maybe you could just ground the spindle body externally and call it a day. Or have fun prying it open.
