I don't know that anyone did that back in the day - the pack cleaners I'm aware of had arms that wiped the top and bottom surfaces of the platter while the platter was still mounted inside the shell. I know that RK05 packs _were_ opened and the platter/hub assembly removed, cleaned, and replaced, but they didn't have the locking handle of an RL01/RL02 cart. Also, RK05s can be formatted by users (and often were), but owning to embedded servo data, you _can't_ format RL01/RL02 media in the field, so I'd be hesitant to dismantle the hub on an RL02 pack. -ethan
