Front panel removal, 2 latches at the inside of the case impossible to remove

Viego03

Hi i got this far in removing the front panel

but the 2 latches at the inside of the case (near the powe button) are impossible to remove??? It’s like glued into it. I can see that most of the latches have been removed by me but the last 2 are actually glued?? I am tried even pulling it off with excessive force (out of frustration) and I cut myself like 2 times and it still wouldn’t detach. I am not even that weak :(.

is there I tool I can use or do I need to get help by someone else irl who can either squeeze or pull?

Ok so I managed to figure it out. Step 2 is not removing the latches. Step 2 is removing the headphone stand screws from inside the case. Would have been nice if this was documented somewhere so here it is I guess?

It's different on different models. Typically the instruction do say what needs to be done for each step, but I can't look them up without knowing what you have. :(
