With the micro plug screw disengaged, the plate can be lifted from the block leaving the idler gears, chip guards, and subplate resting on the block. These parts can now be lifted off of the block.

It is handy to arrange the parts as they are removed from the attachment, because they will be reassembled in the opposite order in which they were removed. It is also important to know which side of the attachment that the parts were removed from in case any of them need to be replaced or repaired. For example, if the pin from one side of the attachment were galled, the thread roll from the same side of the attachment would also be galled. It is unusual for both rolls to gall.
