4. Pry off the volume and channel selector knobs from their shafts using the knob remover/chassis
opener tool (Motorola part # 6686533Z01) (Figure 2-2).
5. Separate the chassis from the front housing assembly by using the knob remover/chassis opener
tool. Place the broad side of the opener into the slots located at the base of the radio (Figure 2-3).

toward the base of the radio, releasing the two chassis base tabs.
6. Pull the chassis assembly out of the front cover.
7. Unplug the speaker wire assembly from the 2-pin connector.

properly. If the O-ring is damaged, replace it with a new one.
NOTE:
