With our minimalist Minnow Driver Kit applied to a minimalist device, we separate pretty much everything from pretty much everything else.

Both the display and crank stay comfortably ensconced in the forward housing, along with some button covers.

Everything else just flips out, provided you're deft with a spudger and can persuade a few small ribbon cables to stand aside.
