  1. Core Assembly Removal, Unfasten the screws: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • Before starting repairs, take your watch off the charger and power it down.

    • Remove the four 3.9 mm-long Torx T3 screws.

    • Depending on the condition of your driver, a Torx T4 bit may fit better.

    • Don't try to detach the back cover yet. It is still connected to the watch assembly.

    The screws at least on my unit seem to be Torx T4. A T3 will work, but be careful not to strip the screws.

    Yes! They are T4 on my watch too.
