| ***NOTES:*** | | | # You will need JIS screwdrivers for this job. Regular Phillips screwdrivers have a cross pattern with rounded inner edges and won't fully fit the slots in the JIS screws. JIS screwdrivers instead have a straight cross pattern which makes much better contact with the screw head and is made for the high torque you will need to loosen the screws. | | # When loosening the screws, start pressing the screwdriver firmly for the first 1-2 turns (highest torque) until the screw is 'unlocked'. Failing to do so can damage the screw head and make it impossible to disengage that screw. | | # Keep track of which screw goes where in each step, e.g., by sticking them in an annotated sheet of paper with tiny perforations for securing the screws. |
