Another mini-flame for service manuals that claim that

rather have a service manual that starts 'Take the HDA into a clean room
and undo the cover screws (#1 in fig 4.2), lift off cover' etc than one
which entirely misses out the HDA.
Well, those service manuals were originally meant for their _own_
service technicians, and they knew damned well that no way in Hell
can an entry-level service droid fix those things in the field.
