Keeping the Cliffy train rolling, this weekend I put in the Force Scoop protector. This was a more simple process than installing the Salacc Pit protector. It was not necessary to remove the scoop to install the protector, but I did any way. It needed cleaning.
The screws for the kicker, scoop, and board had those 1/4″ hex heads. I needed two different size Philips Head screwdrivers to remove the posts behind the scoop and the switch attached to the scoop.
