      • Using the Triangle driver remove the four 7.5 mm screws.

      • The two front screws are deeper than the two on the back legs which may cause difficulties. These can be reached by putting the bit in first then carefully putting the driver on slightly (not all the way)

      • Using a soldering Iron, carefully heat the solder point around the silver wire and pull gently until the wire lifts free.

      • The soldering iron and solder get very hot, so caution is advised to avoid touching either directly.

      • This step may be skipped but if so care must be taken to not accidentally pull the wire from the contact. Skipping this step will limit the amount or room that is available to work with.
