Reverse engineering code from compiled object files takes a special
person that has a knack for it. Even so, it'll take longer by far to
reverse engineer from raw data back into usable code than it would
take to just write a new version from scratch.

What you are trying to acomplish isn't the right way to go about it,
there is nothing easy about what you are trying to do, learning how
the original module works and rewriting it from scratch would be easier.
