Great thanks I managed to do it. don't know why i had a problem with it in the frst place!

Hey People

I'm wanting to repair the handle on my Hughes and Kettner Vortex Black Series Combo. The rubber sleeve has split revealing the sharp metal strap underneath.

I've found pictures of the head version of the amp here which has the same handle and same screws on the back:

I need to get underneath the plastic caps at the ends of the handle which are covering the fixing screws. I first thought I'd be able to prize these off with a screwdriver but they are firmly fixed. I then thought about getting underneath through the back of the amp. Problem is I'm worried if I take out the wrong screws some component will drop down and get damaged.

I'm reluctant to pay for someone else to repair it because it's only a handle and should be easy to repair.

Can anyone help

Thanks a lot
