I went through a previous post by BrandonVA that shows pictures of a 3082 being dismantled but my unit has a plastic plate that covers the lower screw unlike the unit shown in the 3082 pictures. See picture of my unit which is a newer version. Anyone has suggestions for gaining access to the lower screw. The plate covering the screw seems like it may be removable but I do not want to take a chance without actually learning from someone who may have done this. Thanks in advance. Vaji.

It is integral with the field magnet. This gives access to the armatue and gear for cleaning and oiling. The brushes fall out. The bottom screw may be on the opposite side.

I had to first remove the two wheel bogey before I could remove the apron. BR41 serviced and back on the layout.
