Instrument removal technique

[Ian_C]

Does anyone have any tips on the best method to remove the Strada instruments from the metal plate that they sit in, each surrounded by a rubber "thing" that I assume might be a bit fragile.
Many thanks, Ian

take the instuments out of the rubber first (the might protest, use a solution of water and dish washing liquid betwwen the instrument and rubber to smooth things up a bit. The you can easily remove the rubber from the plates

Many thanks Hendre, I was trying to remove them as an assembly - your method worked well.
