Rotate the lid back up to a 90 degree angle to make it easier to remove and install the Hinges.

With the T5 bit in your Framework Screwdriver, unscrew the four fasteners that hold the Hinges into the Bottom Cover.

Note that these fasteners are longer than the ones used to attach the Display and Hinges into the Top Cover. Make sure to keep them separate from those.
-
With the Top Cover assembly now unfastened from the Bottom Cover assembly, lift it up and lay it flat, being careful to not pull on the cables too much.
