removing the unit
First, remove the hard rubber frame. Engage the catch pins on the removal tool and remove the two locks on the lower level. Lower the frame and pull it forwards as shown in the figure.
When the lower level is removed, remove the upper two locations.
NB The frame can be removed from the top side in the same manner.
Remove the screw on the back panel, then insert the two removal tools (the 'release keys' - see the link on the right if you need to purchase) deeply into the slots on each side, as shown:
Lower the removal tool towards the bottom and pull the unit out halfway, whilst pressing towards the inside.
NB Be careful to avoid injury from the catch pins on the removal tool.
Pull the unit all the way out with your hands, being careful not to drop it.
