Step 8
- Remove the silver plate.
- Carefully pivot and/or flip the midplate so as not to put stress on the thin wires. You can gently seat the miplate onto the plastic cover to keep them together securely.
- Be careful not to lose the two hinge pins with plastic sleeves, located on the outer hinges of the antenna grill. If removed from their location, put them gently back into place. They must be positioned properly before the steel midplate is put back in place.

Step 9
- Remove the antenna grill.
- Be careful of the plastic “brake” sleeve that mates with a triangular protrusion on the hinge spindle. The brake sleeve is spring-loaded, and is what gently holds the antenna in the open or closed position.

Really?!
I tried this tonight and I now have a bag of useless components. You made no mention of the SPRING on the antenna grille which flew off on removal of the grille and then I had no idea which way it was located on re-assembly. I guessed the orientation then couldn’t get the metal plate to fit back on. That led to me snapping one of the hair thin wires! I now have £120 of junk components. Thanks a lot!
