Default Removing curly cord from receiver

I have a red 782 phone. There's a significant 'rustle' and crackling sound, all of which seems to emanate from the inch or two of the curly cord immediately before it goes into the mouthpiece end of the receiver. One option would, I suppose, be to remove the curly cord, trim the individual wires by a couple of inches and then replace it; from past experience, however, knowing how filament-thin those wires are, just replacing the whole cord seems a better bet. Either way, I know how to remove the wires from the phone end, but can anyone tell me how to safely remove them from the handset? - There appears to be a clip holding the curly-cord in place, but I can't quite see how you're supposed to remove or replace it.
Other than that, any particular thoughts on where to get another red curly cord, or just Google it and see what turns up?
