*EDIT*

Ok. First off, the thing is a right :censored: to get fully open. I may also have forgotten some of the things I had to do to get it open because it was a while ago but here go's!

Stage 1: Take off the sticky thing on the back and unscrew the screw here:

Stage 2: Take the top part of the nubs off and then unstick the grey thing as shown:

Stage 3: Unscrew the 6 (I think!) screws as shown:

Stage 4: GET AT THOSE NUBS!!!

And you should be done!

A quick comparison between PSP stock nub and Retrocon nub:
