G'Day fellers,
I'm having a spot of bother removing the screen,I've taken off the four hex head bolts yet the screen seems to be "Stuck"and I do not want to force it too much in case I break it.
On the back of the supports there are small peg type locater things.
Are they holding it in or something?
Or is it just a bit sticky and the rubber seals need to be persuaded?
You know, apply a bit more muscle?
I don't think the screens ever been off.

once youve undone the bolts the screen still can be " stuck " to the rubber gaskets. It will loosen , mine was a tad sticky

+1... do not force the screen, it should come off if you apply gentle pressure
Ta blokes,
I'm a mong, didn't realise that those covers came off and there's another bolt under them.
Google Foo is your friend
Cheers!
I'll add a few words so the next feller can find this post if he does a search. (http://forum.cog-online.org/index.php/topic,32449.msg159354.html#msg159354)

That's one reason. The other is that the bolts can be rounded when removing them later, which I found out the hard way
