these are 8 mil 8 mil 8 mil and then that guy you have to take that guy out

that guy you have to take that guy out

that guy you have to take that guy out to pull you pull back on the sample

to pull you pull back on the sample

to pull you pull back on the sample slide right out and then once you slide

slide right out and then once you slide

slide right out and then once you slide out the amp you're actually gonna have

out the amp you're actually gonna have

out the amp you're actually gonna have to undo this connector and I'll show you

to undo this connector and I'll show you

to undo this connector and I'll show you how it's connected goes it might be a

how it's connected goes it might be a

how it's connected goes it might be a little tricky so what it is is it's

sitting something like going to sit like
