NISI VND True Color: how can I remove the lenses?

Hello,
my NISI VND True Color it fell and broke an internal pin for the stop. Unfortunately now I find it difficult to use it because it no longer has the end stop.
Now the two lenses rotate infinitely. So before buying a new one, I would like to disassemble it and see if I can reassemble it. But I am not able to disassemble it.
Can anyone tell me how to do it? I'd like to do a try.
Thanks

See the slot highlighted in the red circle (2nd image below the youtube video)? There is another one on the other side. A tool like the one in the link is used to unscrew the ring and then you can take the lens out. The tool is cheap. There are kits going for less than $8.

I'm not saying that will allow you to fix it, but it might.

I thank you so much you your reply. Yes you are right there is a slot on the inner ring. But I don't see another one on the outer ring. Unfortunately I only see one slot, and yet I looked carefully even with a magnifying glass
 
Ok, I said that in a confusing way. By other side, I meant on the other side of the same ring. So there are two of these slots on the one ring (same side of the ND). If you look at 5:36 in this video, it will make it clear.
