No special tools are required. You can use flat toothpicks to scrape
old foam out of the slots. You may want to pre-wet the foam with some
denatured alcohol first. Be careful to not foam over the small metal tab
in the top slot (about 1" in from the right). This tab must move
freely, it resets the counter when the back is opened. I sell sets of
foam if you can't get them locally. $6 + shipping.
