[* black] The dock piece is connected to the circuit board via wires that you can see move while you pull it forward.
[* black] I chose to not remove the dock portion because I didn't want to disconnect any wires from the board, but if you're doing a repair, feel free to take this even further. You should have made it far enough through the teardown to get as far as you need from here.
-[* black] Sadly, it doesn't look like you can easily replace the retaining clip that holds the iPod door in without a LOT more work. This piece breaks often on these units, and you'll likely just have to live with the iPod door always open.
+[* black] To replace the door latch, you actually don't have to take the unit apart at all. Just request a sample of part DL-1X from Richco Components, and they'll send you two for free! Pull the old one out with pliers (little black clip), and push the new one in until it 'snaps' into place.
