That's about what I did. Unless I totally missed a techie tip, I figured
I had to clear the top pan and remove it. Once I did that, the lower
transfer pad was _right_ _there_ in plain sight. I was just hoping there
was a better way for the next time. It took me more than 15 minutes the
first time, though. :-)

Ah. I know of the internal and external clips you are describing; I just
don't think I was exposed to different terms for the three kinds. I've
always seen the "E-circlips" referred to simply as "circlips".
