Great news!

Yikes - I do this in my sleep, so it's hard to actually remember the steps!

You have to remove the side panels (glide/sustain on left, power switch
on right). There are screws from the bottom of the case and machine
screws from the top of the panels. The ones from the bottom are a pain
to line up to put it back together when you are done.

There's also some big screws on either side of the keybed frame. I
think there are two big Philips-head machine screws and one flat-head
wood screw on each side.

You want it in the up position.

Good luck!
