I need to open an AE50. Have loosened the two screws to front.

Anything else needed to be done in order to remove the front casing?

No movement as is.

Will apply WD40, any additional advice welcomed please, I know these are fragile.

Thanks.

Unscrew the chrome collar that holds the hookswitch plunger, and remove collar and plunger. (Counter-clockwise)

Sometime it is much harder to screw them back in than to unscrew them.

Looks like a beauty!
