Disassembling/Refurbishing Dia Compe SS5 levers

I've got some SS5s in good shape but with quite tatty finish. I'd like to strip them down, repaint the lever bodies and polish the lever blades.

How do I go about pulling them apart and will small parts go flying into the furthest, darkest reaches of the shed?
 
Ahh, excellent! That was actually very helpful. I was mostly afraid the coil springs would rocket out and bury themselves in my corneas or disappear into Dustworld never to be found.
