Almost correct but not quite, there are two screws through the ash pan. Remove those. Use a small magnet to extract these. The front boiler mount screw (Phillips Head) hides under the front truck. If you look at the front truck swing arm, you’ll see a notch in the arm that will correspond with the hole the screw is in. Remove this screw, use the magnet to extract it. Before you do anything, open the boiler front door and scoot the headlight harness back and out of the way so you don’t yank it out upon disassembly. Take note on how the front steps are arranged before you dismantle. The steps are separate and will just fall out when you begin to separate the shell from the chassis....it’s pretty self explanatory.....no rocket surgery or brain science....😉........Pat
