Step 3
- The top cover is fastened with oval head screws. Unscrew them.
- These screws have an oval head that makes them look like rivets (picture 2). You need to use a special bit - also available at iFixit - for their removal. Here a DIY guide. If the right bit is not available, it could be done with a pair of needle nose pliers. Jura wants to keep us out of our own machines!!!
