Procedure worked as advertised. I used multiple wedges on the front plate until it separated without bending. It took all 6 to do this using 3 on each side.

My replacement battery had one wire and worked fine. The one that was removed had a black and white connector. The replacement only had a white connector. I need to figure out what will be best to use to reattach faceplate so I can remove it again if necessary.

Thank you!
