NEQ6 alt bolts

Hi,

Last night, as I was doing a polar alignment, one of the bolts snapped inside the base of the mount. The remaining length of bolt can't be unscrewed because the thread is damaged, so I need to remove the mount from the base so I can access the inside portion of bolt and cut away the damaged thread.

As I understand it, the two black plastic discs are removed in order to access the bolt which fixes the mount to the base. I've made alignment marks for refitting, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting these off, and was wondering if anyone could offer advice?

Is it a straightforward job to remove the base?

Cheers
Stephen
