Have you removed the scrivet like clips with the 3 holes in them at the base of the panel? They unscrew - usually no problem with just your fingers if you wear rubber gloves, but if they are tight you can make something up to fit the holes.

Two small flat headed screwdrivers in the holes help to get them undone

Here's a little DIY tool I made for those 3 hole clips:
https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=306234 The latest mod is to put the "pins" onto a straight section of Allen key. If there's a crank it fouls the plastics. Use the Araldite to form a triangular shape for your fingers to turn. Good Luck. |

The top part of the panel is held in place with clips into which the panel is pushed. Get your fingers behind the top and wrench it forward. Some of the clips pull off in the process but can be put back.
