Insert a small, 3/16" flat-blade screwdriver, or similar instrument, in between the thin remaining wall and the chassis at the bottom of the radio. Do not mar the O-ring sealing area on the housing. b. Slowly pry the bottom of the chassis from the cover by pushing the 3/16" flat-blade screwdriver down, and rotating the handle of the tool over and behind the base of the radio. This prying action forces the thin inner plastic wall toward the base of the radio, releasing the two chassis base tabs. Radio Figure 3-3: Chassis Removal !

Rotate the front cover backward and slightly away from the chassis. NOTE: Flexible ribbon circuits (flexes) connecting the front cover assembly and the chassis prevent you from completely separating the two units. Display radios and radios with option boards have two flexes. 5. Lift the latches on the main circuit board to release the flexes from their connectors.

Slowly pry the bottom of the chassis from the cover by pushing the 3/16” flat-blade
screwdriver down, and rotating the handle of the tool over and behind the base of the radio.
This prying action forces the thin inner plastic wall toward the base of the radio, releasing the
two chassis base tabs.
