Important
To remove the cover, unscrew the four nuts
from the cover attaching studs, reverse two
of the nuts so the washers face outward and
screw them back onto the inner two studs.
Assemble the two remaining nuts to the
same two inner studs with washers facing
inward. Using a small wrench on the inner
nut, on each stud, jam the two nuts tightly
together. Again using the small wrench, on
the inner nut, unscrew the studs until the
cover breaks loose.
After breaking the cover loose, remove the
jammed nuts from each stud. Remove the
cover from the studs. Examine the stud and
rubber washer assembly and replace if
either stud or washer is damaged.
