K3/0-mini disassembly

Scott Townley
I have a K3/0-mini that I removed the rear bail from.  Basically I
unscrewed the four screws, cracked open the case just a bit, and shook
all the internal hardware (nuts/washers) out, and buttoned it back up.
Now I want to put the bail back on.  I've gotten the case fully opened
up (two halves), but I'm having a challenge with the PCB that's attached
to the rear half.  It appears those four black "nubs" that you can see
on the back are some sort of nylon standoff that's being used for
stiffening the PCB.  But it's not obvious to me how to remove them or
otherwise disengage them.  Of course I'd prefer to do this without
destroying them and leaving four holes in the back.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
Scott NX7U

If there is an Assembly Manual look into it for assistance. If not, maybe some help in the operators manual?.
