Changed points:

Step 6
There are only two connectors to be disconnected instead of
FX-2170's three, because the FX-980 has only one release
lever sensor on the left frame.

The Hexagon nut standard M7 is used instead of the FX-2170's
standard M4.

eject assembly, rear / front tractor unit, and the printer cover.
