Ink Republic still has its own set of instructions but it's recently come to light that four additional steps (2 sets of two) have been missed out.

In this image:

... the horizontal slots (one on each side(rear)) have tabs that need to be released by pushing a thin flat blade into the slot whilst lifting slightly.

Underneath there are an additional two notches, far left and right, that you need to use a thin flat screwdriver in to release two hooks.

These steps are covered in the new guide on wasteink.co.uk

... and there's also some images available here:

These instructions still miss the same release point as InkRepublic (ie: front tabs)... but as always extra images can't hurt.
