How to remove the cage grill from Quad II 80

Hi,

I’ve just purchased a pair of Quad II 80. While unpacking, one of the protection covers for the transformers got stuck and started to break. Now to remove it completely and safely I have to remove the cage grill protecting the valves.

The manual doesn’t say anything about how to remove the cage. I guess that the long tool provided (see attached photo) is to be used, but if the screws shown in the attached photo are those to remove I do not see how it can be done, as the screws are covered by a small metal plate.

Does anybody know how to do it?

Thanks

Apologies - what I thought were the screws in reality are the rubber feet of the cage. I have moved the amp on a table and inspected with a light. Saw the screws and removed the cage. Stupid on me, I should have done before.
