There are multiple mistakes in this tutorial, which made it hard to follow the steps:

- in step 2.1, you are missing 4 screws below each side of the latching mechanism.

- in step 5, the mask does not come apart after unscrewing the 8 screws. I am currently stuck at this step as I am writing this. Wish me luck.
