      • Wedge the plastic opening tool under the cover and apply pressure in an upward direction.

      • On the bottom of the OnHub is two screws holding the casing to the base.

      • To access these screws, you must remove the rubber pad that is glued to the base.

      • To remove the pad, slide a metal spudger under the edge of the pad. Pry the pad away from the base, removing the glue.

      • Once the pad is pulled up enough to grab, peel it the rest of the way exposing the screws.

      • The rubber pad is thin and fragile; be careful not to tear when removing.

      • There are three hooking style clips in total.
