literally to remove the lid was
1 big spring holding the inner flappy bit of material to the lid
4 phillips screws in the hinge at the front
2 circlips at the rear
a springy bar bit in the middle the 1 big spring is attached to that pops out a bit like a bog roll holder by squeezing the ends together.
and jobs a goodun
must be said though the new seal is bit tight!
