    Step 1: Remove the body by first pulling the sides out away from the chassis and then pulling up.

    Step 3: Pop off the plastic cover that the screws were removed from. Slide the plastic spacers, knuckles, and springs off the kingpins. Below is a picture of the pieces being removed. Be extra careful not to loose the spacers and springs they a VERY small.
