6. Remove a latch button from the bottom case assembly by squeezing the snap
tabs in the center of the latch.
Apply downward pressure to the tabs while squeezing them together (tweezers
work well) to eject the latch button from the bottom of the case without loosening
the upper latch assembly (spring and slider). If the upper latch assembly does
come loose:
a. Reinsert the spring onto the slider, and reinstall both pieces in the latch
housing on the inside of the case.
b. Ensure that the slider is inserted so that the side with the two bumps is
facing the back of the case, and the surface with the wear ribs is facing
the bottom of the case.
7. Hold the upper latch assembly in place while you snap the new latch button in
from underneath the base, making certain the snap tabs are fully engaged in the
slider.
8. Ensure that the newly installed latch assembly moves smoothly and freely when
pushed and released.
