    I found it was easy to get a spudger over the left edge and lift it up a bit, then push the bar to the left, It pops right off after that.

  23. IWMesOs11AGCmOxQ

    on reassemby, for those who have some trouble getting the center cap back in its place , tilt the reinstalled display just a little bit up ( not flat), then the center cap slips in again much easier.
