The two inboard screws have individual non-captive nuts behind a plastic
cover. I can't tell you how to manage the cover since I haven't had one
for 21+ years, but you'll have to get it out of the way to remove and
replace those.

The two outboard screws are into a non-captive threaded plate, so you don't
want to remove both of those at the same time. Loosen both screws, remove
one, swing the plate aside, reinsert the removed screw into only the
threaded plate, then remove the other screw. I reinsert the removed one to
be sure the threaded plate doesn't shift into an inaccessible position.

HTH,

Ken H.
