I am stuck on how to remove the black rail guide on Stern Spiderman so I can slip the Cliffy shooter lane ball eject protector underneath. I took off the apron. Removed the top of the ball trough. Unscrewed from underneath three screws that go into the black rail guide. Loosened the wire habit trail that attaches to the black rail guide. Took off the plastic on top of the black rail guide....and it still doesn't move.

I can't see any other fasteners ... but there is something that is holding it down. Appreciate any suggestions. Sure it is something simple, which is probably why I can't figure it out \-)

The photo below from Cliffy's site is what it suppose to look like when installed underneath the black rail guide.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Folks, thanks for the input, but the very first thing I did was remove the three screws underneath the playfield as suggested by all (photo 1 below). But the black rail guide still as tight on the playfield as my nose is to an ice cream parlor window.

From the top of the playfield, I took off the plastic at the end of the black rail, the nut to the wireform, and there is nothing else connected to the black rail guide .... and it is still tight (photo 2). The front where the protector would slide underneath moves up a tiny bit, but the other end is anchored solid.

Thanks Cliffy for referring me to the Met install guide, but Spiderman is laid out differently.

Sorry to be the dimmest bulb in the chandelier, but what am I missing?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and have a great weekend!
