Just a steady hard consistant pull. Don't jerk them off but try to get your
fingers round the back of them and ease them off. It's just friction
holding them on.
Sometimes it's a hell of a lot of friction though.
You've found a manual for disassembly, yes? They are a little complicated
to take apart. In particular it's easy to forget which way up things went
and where they were plugged in. Take photos as you go.

Yes, my guess would be a PSU issue too.
They are a bit of a pain to disassemble but the PSU is a self contained

The firmware in a CP/M machine I'd much simpler then you are probably
used
to, but I would think you'd want to get a boot disk in there as soon as
you
can after it's turned on. It may not boot up after it's tried &
couldn't
find one.
