Hi
You will need to remove the gripper motor, probably btter to remove tone arm assembly if you leave it place you might bend it. You will probably need to remove turntable and turntable assembly to get at the gripper motor bolts and to leave enough room for removing the gripper. Four hex bolts underneath the chassis hold gripper assembly in place. Remove timing cam and plate with attached micro switches, also remove c clips and spring for linkage bar for that A or B sides.
