Shattered Glass Megatron & Soundwave - how to transform

[Megatron]

Ok so... I got my SG Megatron today - and I love him!!! He's so friggin awesome. However, because I'm not very good when it comes to transforming my TF toys (not had many loose ones to play with due to my MISBing habit ) - anything bigger than Legends class I seriously need the instruction sheet. So for anyone who has this awesome toy how on Cybertron do you take his sword out of the tank attachment??? I know the red button is for pulling the whole assembly out in one go, but now I can't seem to be able to take the sword back out again, and there's nothing in the instructions on how to do this. It seems to require a lot of strength to pull it out, but I'm too scared I'll break something if I pull too hard. Oh and another thing; how do I put the tank onto his forearm? I've opened up the two clips, but it doesn't seem to fit onto his arm! And again, I don't want to force it on. Can anyone help?

As far as my SG Soundwave goes (I got him a week ago - yay for SG Soundwave!!!)... even with the instruction sheet I'm too scared to transform him! I'm stuck on step one already... the top part of him isn't moving the way the instructions say he should, or I'm just not getting it. I've already watched several Youtube vids as well btw. Needless to say the mold is very fragmented and does not fit together very well in alt mode to begin with. Any tips are highly appreciated.
