the bumpers take some finesse to remove, so be patient

Travis Weston - Jan 11, 2018

You should add a security hex screwdriver to your tools list, along with the gauge that is required.

Scott Williams - Apr 13, 2018

There is a fifth screw in the battery compartment that holds the faceplate on. Take an exacto knife and cut out sticker where the hole is.
