Hi guys,
the JM I picked up about 2 months ago had a wrong coil installed at the matrix release (some huge unlabeled thingy with a DCR of 3.0 instead of the 6.8 the new 25-1000 had). It played without major problems nonetheless though, but in most cases the multiball start threw the balls right into the glass - pretty annoying as they often miss their target lanes and scare players .
Now I got the right coil for that place (tiny in comparison), but I am stumbled on how to get it installed. Seems I have to remove the whole mini playfield for that. But how exactly do I do that?

Thanks!

The coil sticks out through a hole at the bottom of the playfield and through the backboard, but the screws securing its holder are tightened from "somewhere inside the matrix", so as far as i can see there is no removing the coil without removing the mini playfield (although I'd be happy to learn a way )
Is the cyberspace assy only mounted by the two bolts through the backboard (which would be pretty service friendly)? Or are there loads of other fixations in places you can't see (which I would guess...)? Can't see that from the manual..

Hmm nevermind, it was just the two bolts
