On the dremel 395 there are 4 visible "star" screws holding the unit together. Get a star wrench/screwdriver and remove those. They kind of look like hex bolts, but they are not, so get the star wrenches.
Now wait.
At the neck, where you have been changing collets and tip types, You may or may not have noticed that the first inch of the top of the body of the tool, the green or grey part, can be unscrewed like a light bulb. Unscrew that, usually a good grip will do.
This now lets you see that there are 2 more smaller star bolts that also hhold the body together. remove those and you will be able to easily seperate the two halves of the tool.
Try to keep the motor body, or rather, let the motor body stay in the half that it wants to. The top shaft that ends with the collet neck, will pop out with just a little coaxing.
Between the top shaft and the drive motor, you will notice some remnent of the interconnecting thing-a majig, that is looking a little ugly right now and needs a replacement. This piece connects the outer shaft and the internal motor.
I know this because one of my first calls tomorrow is to order a replacement part for myself. And I think I will order 2. It seems as though this was not a good design development, in this series.
Good luck with your repair. I do not think it is that complicated. Pull it apart, throw out the debri, use a can of compress air for your computer, put in new part, put back in 6 screws, fire it up again.
