Hi,
Has anyone ever cracked one of these open themselves?
I was thinking about before I just replace it with a used one. I hear there are steel bands unlike traditional AT's.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

What has gone bad in the CVT to begin with?....What are the symptoms of the problem(s)?....You may want to get a second opinion as to if it can be repaired before ripping into it yourself.
