[Elecraft] K2/100SSB partial disassembly/assembly help

[Mark]

I just received a terrific pre-built K2/100/SSB unit.  It works wonderfully, but it
would appear that I need to get inside and "fiddle" with the front panel jumpers
to configure the microphone.  I have an appropriate kenwood 8-pin mic and 
when plugged-in - it simply ignores it.  I have checked the firmware menu settings and they appear good.

However, being fat fingered and mechanically incompetent, I am reticent to start
pulling modules out.  I took out enough screws out  to get the top cover loose, and the front panel loose, but I can't determine from the manual(s) if the front panel pulls UP or pulls OUT from the main assembly.  The rig seems to work so beautifully that I'm terrified of pulling out wires, etc. and never getting it back into working shape.  I noticed that the little machined rectangular screw holders came loose and I had to
get my hemostat out and gingerly get them back into place before I could get all the
covers screwed into place.

Anyone want to point me in the direction of disassembling enough of the radio so I
can configure the microphone jumpers?    Yes, the manual is a good place to start, 
but it just says to take the front cover off and set the jumpers...
