Nobody has anything on this? wow. Im gonna be doing it sometime next week, I will probably do the write up as I go along, this is pretty simple and self explanatory after looking at the FSM diagram.

^I bumped this, just incase someone now knows of some tips on the subject. This is at the top of my list right now too, so unless someone already has some tips or, omg, a write up on it, I guess I'll just have to document everything, and post my procedure.

I dont see what the problem is. If your front plate has the big hole use a 89+ o ring with the white plastic piece, if it doesnt have the bigger space, just use the rubber o ring, use some hylomar to hold it in there while assembling.
