Abschluss
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
On our K50 Elite, the lid is held on with 2 screws, and two tabs (which I broke off) near the rear. I think to remove the lid, you first take out the 2 screws, under the cover on the front, and then slide the lid backwards to clear the tabs. I attached the rear of the lid by 2 spots of hot glue where the tabs used to go. I also removed the handle before removing the lid.

The K40 unit I was trying to fix was leaking from the top inside the unit. When I took it apart (rocking did not work, there were two screws under the front and it slid back easily when they were removed) the curved piece with the reinforcement housing was loose so that water was pumped into the housing whenever coffee was being made. That resulted in a flooded counter and a tripped circuit breaker!
I ran a zip tie from the crossbar of the reinforcement assembly to a brace on the tank and that made it much less likely to come loose and now the Keurig works as it was meant to do.

Clarification: The curved piece of tubing with the reinforcement housing was loose.
