Subject: How to remove print-head from an Imagewriter ][?

My Imagewriter ][ has a problem. The (silver) metal cover on the back of
the clear plastic paper guide is scraping on the paper as the print-head
moves across the platen. The "easy" (and expensive) solution is to
replace the entire print-head mechanism. However, this seems rather drastic
when I could probably fix the problem with some sandpaper and a little
glue. So, can anyone give me reasonably detailed instructions on how
to remove the print-head so I can repair the paper guide? (From an
initial inspection, it appears that this is NOT a simple task.)

Thanks in advance,
Todd.
