removing housing pr-400

The PR400 is a little tight during disassembly but it's really not that big of a deal as long as you don't try to force anything.
Once you remove the volume and channel knobs it's just as simple as taking a small screwdriver (there is a removal tool but I prefer the screwdriver pn 6686533Z01) to the bottom of the chasis and pry up the tanapa from the cover. From there you pull (carefully) the cover flex (if display model) out of the board and continue to pull up on the tanapa. Sooner or later you'll run have to pull the speaker and mic jacks out of the board, at that point you'll be done.
