Remove the Bottom Magnet Screws and Bottom Platter
  • Now, remove the two Phillips PH1 screws (circled in red) on the bottom magnet. Your magnet shouldn't have metal shavings on it like mine - this is only because I had to drill out the screw a bit ago.

  • You should now be able to move the read/write head (in the direction of the red arrows) enough to remove the bottom platter (pull it in the direction of the orange arrows.).
