1. Remove the bottom case bracket.
2. Remove the left latch from the outside of the bottom case by
unsnapping the slider-spring assembly.
Keep pressure applied to the slider-spring assembly while unsnapping the
latch to prevent the slider-spring assembly from coming loose from the
case. If the slider-spring assembly does come loose from the case:
a. Carefully reinsert the spring onto the plunger on the slider, and
reinstall the slider-spring assembly into the holding features on the
inside of the case.
b. Ensure that the plunger is inserted in its respective hole, that the side
of the slider with the two bumps is facing the rear of the case, and
that the surface with the wear ribs is facing the bottom of the case
(see Figure 29).
3. Snap in the new latch from the bottom of the base, making certain
its snap features are fully engaged in the slider.
4. Ensure that the newly installed latch moves smoothly and freely
when pushed and released.
