    • Remove the three screws from the center of the copper plate.

    • Remove the four screws from the outer edges of the copper plate.

    • Use a plastic or metal spudger to pry the copper plate out of place.

    May want to consider using a plastic spudger rather than a metal one since metal on metal may scratch, unless the plastic spudger didn't fit.
