I totally agree with Frank here - I recently replaced some lights 
and found that removing the keyboard cover, removing the pitchwheel 
controller assembly, and then unscrewing the housing from the 
buttons was much less stressful than trying to go in "from the 
outside". The bonus to this is that you'll get to clean out any junk 
that's accumulated inside your keyboard over the years :-).

Happy new year!
