    • Continue prying around the end panel, prying at different points until the entire panel is out of its seating.

    • The tabs which connect the panel are on the short sides.

    • WARNING: you will likely cause cosmetic damage to the end cap.

    • Push against the side without end cap to slide the internal components out of the case.

    • While holding the metal outset casing with one hand, press on the black inner plastic casing with your thumb.

    • It will be very difficult the first time. There is a rubber seal on the outside of the plastic inner case that creates a lot of friction with the metal outer case.
