Does anyone here know the correct way to remove the Xbox disc drive tray drawer face plate?

I have a unusuable Samsung disc drive (failing laser) from a Crystal Xbox but the replacement disc drive I have is a standard black Xbox Hitachi drive and I'd like to swap the faceplates.

The face plate design and attachment system looks to be the same for all the disc drive makes used but I can't work out how to get them off. At least not without the risk of doing the tray or the face plate iteself some damage.

Advice appreciated.

EDIT

I asked about this on a couple of other forums and managed to get the front plate off following the very basic advice I was first given. However later a much more detailed reply was posted which closely matched what I had done myself:-

"Turn the DVDrive upside down with the DVD tray in the closed position. Grab the face plate in your left hand with your thumb facing up and 1st finger under it and hold the DVDdrive in your right hand. Now flex the face plate down and you will see a gap appear between the face plate and the drive. You will now notice two tabs on the face plate that have come away from the drive tray. Once they are clear of the DVD tray, push the face plate down with your thumb to slide it off the tray.

To put it back on, with the DVDrive assembly up the right way, (not up side down), put the face plate on the slides that are on each end of the tray and slide down. The face plate will go down the sides and continue pushing the face plate down till it "clips" in place. Alternatively you can turn the DVDrive up side down, grab the face plate with your left hand, thumb at top, spread till the gap appears and put a butter knife in the gap and use the knife to lever the face plate till the tabs are separated. Now rather than twist with your thumb, push down on it and it will slide the face plate off the tray."

Thanks to xman at XBMC4Xbox for this.
