Parts Used
1. I removed 4 screws holding the rubber sanding pad and removed it.
2. Removed metal brackets that hold sand paper. Pay attention to how they fit into their grooves.
3. I then removed old platen and replaced it with new one.
4. Put metal brackets back in place. This was a struggle at first. They just didn't seem to want to fit, but I found that placing the rubber pad on top held them in place.
5. I was then able to screw the pad back on and everything works great.
