i’m trying to replace my switches and following tutorials they say to remove the pcb by unscrewing those 8 screws at the back of the pcb but keep the screws for the stabilisers (which i have done). it says to pull apart very gently but this level of force doesn’t seem to be enough to take them apart, i also tried a little harder but i’m scared of damaging anything.

i put together this 60he+ module like a year ago so i don’t know if this is just normal after a long time of the keyboard being screwed together and that i maybe do need more force (i saw someone else say they tried this when searching for the problem on here) ? or am i missing something, thanks…
