In order to remove the nuts from the terminal screws, you’ll need to use another nut driver of the appropriate size. Once again, turn each nut counterclockwise and remove. Take care not to drop the nuts inside of the back of the unit. One way to avoid this is to place a small piece of electrical tape inside of the nut driver hole. That way, when the nut touches the tape, it will stick to the tape and not fall out.
