Fitting a new hardrive in a G4 1.42

I just bought a new interal drive but when I popped open my mac intending to fit the drive I realised I hadn't a clue how to put the thing in. Looking at the metal case which holds my first hardrive it seems to be fixed solidly to the side of my case, with no obvious signs as to which screws need to be undone.

The only way I could think of getting to it would be to take off both of my dvd drives to get to some screws I can see on the left (what a pain) or try and find someone with an allen key that will undo the fixed side of my g4. I'm sure this is a very simple answer once you know it but could someone enlighten me please?!
 
If I remember properly, it should have a single screw at the top that holds the frame in place. Once it's removed, pull the small lever on the left side of the cage forward, and you should be able to slide the frame up slightly and pull it straight out.
