Steve:
Yeah, I was afraid of that.
I can't believe they make the thing so hard to work with.
When I do take the cover off, if it comes to that, I'm going to have to
figure out how I'm going to work safely in there without zapping myself
with the discharge from the capacitors. If anyone has some fullproof way to
do that, let me know. Otherwise, I may have to get some sighted assistance
over here.

Tom,
You'll probably have to take the cover off to tighten that lug. If you
don't tighten it, you won't be able to use it whether you want to or not.
