Your Wheatstone A-5000 audio console is equipped with two
"module extractor tools" which are mounted underneath the
console armrest, to the far right (just above and to the left of
the righthand mainframe headphone jack).
Main module faceplates are held into the console mainframe by two
mounting screws (top and bottom). When removed the screws leave specially
threaded holes that accept the two extractor tools.
To remove a module faceplate from the mainframe:
Remove the front top and bottom mounting screws. Remove the extractor
tools from underneath the armrest, and screw each tool into a module
faceplate mounting hole.
Use only four or five turns
(do not over-insert; you
may damage the threaded mainframe hole underneath).
Using the extractor
tools as handles, pull the module straight up out of the mainframe.
