    • Remove the batteries.

    • Strong plastic clips secure the handle cover. Significant force is required to release them.

    • The plastic clips on the outer edge make it difficult to slide along it and release the clips. Therefore, prying up on the inner edge is the easier option.

    • Pry up the middle inner edge of the handle cover with the opening tool to release the remaining clips.

    • Place a finger on top of the handle cover to prevent it from being forcefully ejected.

    • Remove the left handle cover.

    • To reinstall the left handle cover, position it on the back housing and press down firmly along the edges to engage all of the clips.

    • The sticker in the battery compartment covers a housing screw. Peel it back or pierce through it with a screwdriver.

    • Use a pair of tweezers or your fingers to peel back the sticker to reveal the screw.

    • You only need to peel this sticker to where you can access the hidden screw. You don't need to pull it completely off.

    • Use a Torx T8 Security screwdriver to remove the five 9.3 mm-long screws securing the top housing, three near the top and two at the bottom.

    I found that for me a T8 H screw (the one with a hole in the middle) works better.

    Violynos -

    Hi Violynos, thanks for your comment! The designation Torx T8 security screw is equivalent to Torx T8H.

The left bumper button broke for me. The plastic post that presses the button just snapped. This helped me replace the bumper. Good guide.
