Pull the metal bar out through the right side of the eject lever.
Make sure to keep track of the spring located on the left side of the lever as it may shoot off when removing the metal bar.
When reassembling, the procedure becomes more difficult due to the spring (marked red). We recommend that one person hold the spring in place (picture 3) while another person slides the metal bar back into the left housing, and slide the eject lever onto the metal bar.
