How do you take a fortress disc lock apart?

I have been trying to get this one open for months and I want to open it up and watch me pick it.

How would I go about doing this?

if it's meant to be re-keyed, pull the shackle out, and you will see a small hex screw on the side of the lock body, remove that, then remove the keyway cover.

If not, the keyway cover would need to be removed destructively. That would not be discussed in the open part of this forum.

Cheers,
