Get a grinder or grinder or something that will remove the 2 protruding rings on this new velcro replacement part. Step 2. There are 4 screws, remove them. and expose 4 holes and 4 dowel pins. Pay special attention to the black plastic piece that sits on top of the grinder. You can dig it out by lifting the edges, or take a razor and cut out the middle. If you were paying attention, the black piece is very…
