I'll assume it is the same as my similar 18v makita. There would be spring loaded posts that extend out of the main body into the torch head. these act as both contacts and axles for the rotation.
Remove the lens cover, the reflector, the bulb, and the bulb holder.
There should be a metal strip or wire going down the side to where the posts I mention enter. Shine a light down to see. once everything is out of the way, you can slide a narrow spoon handle (or knife or anything that fits) down the gap to push back the spring loaded posts. There may be channels in the plastic to help with this.
once you've got the post down, pull off the head.
I solved my flickering, by bypassing the circuit board, as all a torch need is a battery, a switch, and a bulb rated to match the battery (check your bulb to be sure)
here is a link to my previous solution, (with photos)
