To access the front and rear body tabs you must first remove the
truck bottom plate and wheel sets. To do this:
1. Remove the truck bottom plate using a thin-bladed screwdriver. Once removed
note the orientation of the bottom plate. It only goes back on one way. The end
that has the angle cut into it goes towards the fuel tank
2. Using tweezers or needle-nose pliers, gently pull both truck sides outward to
release them from the wheels. NOTE - The pick-up wires are attached to the truck sides
so take care not to pull them out too far or the pick-up wires could be damaged
3. Lift all three wheel sets up. Note the gear location on each wheel set so they
can be re-installed correctly
Then remove the handrails on the left and right side front of the engine. You can
either remove the stanchions from the body or pop the handrail off the
stanchions. Use tweezers or needle-nose pliers to carefully perform this. To
prevent damaging the paint wrap the pliers or tweezer tips in masking tape. Take
care not to deform the handrail or break the handrail stanchions.
