Handle Removal

[shik]

I just had a custom built case/rack made and it will be arriving next week, but in order for my nitro to fit snugly into the appropriated space, I need to remove the feet and the handle. The feet are easy, but I am not entirely sure about the handle....

It looks like I can pry the end coverings of with a screwdriver (there is a little slot, almost made for a flathead), but I don't want to damage the tolex at all.

Has anyone had any experience doing this?

Thanks all!

Just gently pry up the covering with a flat head screwdriver and then you'll have access to the screw head that removes the handle. Try and keep the screwdriver as horizontal as possible by placing something under it to use as leverage to pry up so you have less chance of damaging tolex. Something that is about an inch or two high. There is a divit or "contact point" for the screwdriver on the outside middle part of the cover.

Sweet. That is what i thought. I just wanted to make sure before I went to town on it. Thanks much!
