Having just finished a 3 weekend MOTM building marathon and finshing off all
my modules as of today, I noticed that same problem and thought about the
same solution. But as a test, I was actually able to get the bracket off
without taking off the knobs and loosening the pots. You just need to get
some needle-noise pliers and slightly bend up the those two extentions enough
so you can remove the bracket.
