    Front I take it? Side light is right in the corner so its tricky. Battery side I think would be impossible unless you've tiny hands, other side can pop off the air duct to give more room. Be just as easy undoing the 2 bolts on the top, taking off the small pop off front grill to reveal another bolt on a long plastic retainer and out it pops. So yeh, take the unit out

    Aw man - does not sound too bad though.

    I did not have the time to look properly as I thought it would only be a quick in and out

    Yeaqh I was looking at the de-tango on another thread. Looks OK - even for me :-)

    I dont fancy putting the light in the over at 200 deg for 15 or 20 minutes for the removal of the orange.

    What would the misses think if she came back LOL

    Ouch! I put mine in at 50 deg for about 6 mins and that was plenty lol! Some have been known to melt at more than that!
