Can anyone tell me how to install a new drive in my Mirrored G4

I purchased a Seagate Serial ATA 160 GIG HD, but for the life of me I can see no way to get the mounting bracket out to put in the new drive. I have worked on my G3 Tower but never on a Mirrored Door G4 1MgHz. Help please.

Go to http://www.apple.com/support/powermac/g4/
and d/l the manual (on the right side of the page, under Documentation)

This manual misses one important step: There is a small screw holding the rear drive carrier in place. It's at the top of the carrier, you'll have to look carefully to see it. The front (lower) drive carrier has no such screw.

Also, StuT: you do know that you will need to add a SATA drive card to the system before that new SATA drive will work, you can't just plug it in and go.
