Jato 3.3 "Chassis top plate" replacement

Hello everyone...I have a jato 3.3 with a crack in the top plate by one of the screws and I am trying to replace....having alot of difficulty in doing so, though....I think it would be easier to replace if I took of the motor, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get to the screws for it....is there a step by step guide for the top plate replacement anywhere...I have done a google search but to no avail...somebody please help...maybe there is a youtube video or something out there....

TIA

Well first you must remove the roll bar, gas tank, antenna, and the throttle/ brake servo. Once you have all of that removed from the top follow the pics on the below. Once you are done removing the top plate you can then remove the steering servo. You do not have to remove the engine or anything else. To make it a little esier for me I do remove the front clip but it is not nesessary. Good Luck and let us know how it goes or if you need any additional help.

Forgot to mention you also have to remove the exhaust hanger screw before removing the top plate.
