from past experience, go ahead & pop the keys (carefully). I would however be
reluctant to remove the space bar, as I did once & had real problems putting
it back on. BTW it was on an IBM AT keyboard - one of the originals.

Some of my friends have also disassembled the keyboard on an Apollo (3500) &
put it back together with no ill effects except that it works better now.
