Take apart and amend list for distribution (9)
I believe the answer is:
dismantle
'take apart' is the definition.
(I know that take apart can be written as dismantle)
'amend list for distribution' is the wordplay.
'for distribution' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'amend'+'list'='amendlist'
'amendlist' with letters rearranged gives 'DISMANTLE'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for dismantle that I've seen before include "Pull to pieces" , "Take apart" , "To demolish" , "Strip down" , "Undo" .)
