Here's where the fun began. The shock mounts (those black rubber things)
are mounted to the stereo frame with a chunk of metal that has two holes
in it to hang onto the shock mounts. One of the metal chunks got stuck
to the stereo frame. The other didn't.
You can see the stuck metal chunk. It came free by pulling on it, requiring
more force than the original shock mounts could deliver.
Here's the wire that empeg installs to keep the connectors from being smashed.
My empeg didn't have the hot glue to hold on the connectors, so they came
off pretty easy.
The FAQ says to keep the new drive outside the machine while it's formatting.
A CD jewelcase stood in as a fine insulating layer.
The extra parts I had to buy from Fry's. Note, these jumpers here are
slightly on the large size, but they did work. If you can find a size
smaller, that would be ideal.
I used two generic sticky paper labels as an insulating layer between the
hard drive and the metal tray.
