[GreenKeys] Type bar removal on M15

[Paul Wills (CKT&T)]

If you remove the "thing that the ribbon holder rides up and down on*" 
you should be able to swing the type bar back far enough to remove it.  
I believe it's just two screws that hold it.  Just make sure the pull 
bar is properly meshed with the new one when you put the type bar back 
in place.

*I'm sure there's a proper name for it in the parts book.
