There are three loose parts when the control wheel comes off: the wheel itself, the set button, and a tiny ball bearing that enables the wheel's click-stop detents. The ball bearing sits in a little hollow on the left rim of the ridge surrounding the contacts on the DMR. The 'set' button is placed loose in the center of the contacts, then the control wheel just snaps back in place. It looks like the three lobes surrounding the 'set' button are not equal size so it seemed easier to snap the wheel back in place when I snapped the right side down first. YMMV.
