How to open video casette?

The tape seems to have come off the roller. How do I open the casette and reattach the tape?
Lou Siegel, January 2007
get a stanley knife, slice the label along the spine where the two halves meet.
-turn over cassette remove 5 philps screws
-turn back up again, lift off top,
- pull out the clear leader tape from full reel's end
-using a small flat blaDE screwdriver, remove clip on empty reel.
-place clear leader tape over the gap at the centre of reel hub and lay clip back on, press down on it with the screwdriver till it snaps into place . this may need a few attempts!
-rethread tape around guide poles. reassemble.
