STEPS

1) Unlock the screws with the Hex Wrench and take off the back shell of the printer.

2) Unlock the screws with the  2.5mm L-Type Long Wrench and take the apical plate off.

3) Unlock the screws and separate the Lead Screw from the Linear Rail.

Please pay attention to hold the Z-axis Connecting Shaft by hand when unscrewing to avoid the shaft from falling directly and damaging other parts of the printer.

4) Rotate the small clamp and take it off from the Lead Screw.

P.S. You can also raise the Z-axis Connecting Shaft to the highest position when the printer is powered on for the convenience of removing the clamp in this step.

5) Remove the screws that fix the Rail Fixing Plate. At the same time, hold the Rail Fixing Plate by hand in case of any damage tp the part..
