[Lowfer] Help - Tool Advice?

Eureka - Fellows!

All saw the problem and were onto a solution. John and Andy were on target. Here's Andy's:
"If not, try a pair of very small, long billed needle nose pliers,
each tip in a slot, and twist it loose. You can try 2 very small
bladed straight screwdrivers, hold them like chop sticks, one 
screwdriver into a slot across from the other and try to twist it 
loose that way. Don't know if this will help in any way, but I've 
been "

I did the chop sticks first using two finishing nails filed to fit the notches. No good as the torque bent them. Tried another pair, same. This was done with the rig pointed up between my legs. Had the sticks in a cressant wrench. That nut was "welded"!

Next I found a pair of bent needle nosed pliers in tool box that had notched ends -- hardly ever used them before as I have snap ring pliers for that use. These notches were just the size. After a few tries and slips I had the rig on the kitchen floor face up and between my legs. Then with much downward pressure, squeezing and turning the pliers it GAVE! DID IT! Had the bugger off. Still the face plate felt as if glued on for good measure. Had a struggle to actually remove the face plate. That done the battery was exposed. It measured 0.05V, a tabbed 2032. Unsoldered it.

Now the NEXT PART: The indicator lights are out. But haven't found the lamps. Does the frequency display unit need removing?? Are the 2 lamps underneeth? So far the display won't give. I see 4 plastic tabs. What holds it in place? Going carfully now.

WOW -- All in the name of experience, HUH? This is my last one!!

Thanks fellows -- Peter
