Can you reapir/dissassemble a torch?

Specifically a Murex MXA363?

I can't see how to get the end which plugs into the welder apart. There is one screw but removing it doesn't seem to free anything.

(in case you're wondering why I want to take it to peices - it's leaking gas and I can't afford a new one)

I stripped about a dozen of those for recycling last year and can't remember how they come apart!
If you post a picture it might jog my memory

Here are a few pics of the torch...

It's coming back to me now!, slide the rubber strain relieve sleeve back now the retaining collar is undone, a bit of washing up liquid may help.
Check there is only one retaining screw as some have 2 and you rotate the holding ring to reveal them in a cutout.
Main body should now slide back (probably tight initially) followed by the holding ring.
Gas pipe is normally a push fit onto a spigot, if there is a problem in this area, personally I would scrap the harness as repairs would be difficult and would not be reliable.
Contact one of the forum suppliers (DIY welding / weldequip etc.) or e-blag fpr a Parweld or similar harness.
