[Shotimes] Boy!! Do I Ache!! or...ATX 60K Done!

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

George:
 I did it a different way. Remove the electrical plug from the wires. Takes
a small jewelers screwdriver and a some probing to find the correct side
tab to push on. I first remove the plug from the old CPS. Tape the wires to
a single wire several feet long. Pull out the bottom. Unwrap tape and
reinstall plug using the new cps as a guide. Remove the plug from the new
CPS and tape wires to wire strung in place. Pull up to the top and reinstall
plug using the old one as a guide. More work but I didn't want to pry and
force anything.
