How do I remove the cover of Great Polaris Equatorial Mount

[Megamoo]

I am a newbie.

I have bought a used GP mount but I found that the altitude adjustment screw is too tight so I need to dismantle to check the screw inside.
 

Rfer on the chart, seem like I need to remove the black plastic cover but I have no idea how to remove it without any scratches. If there is anyone can give me an advice it will be appreciated.

I believe it is glued on.  With other mounts that have glued on covers it usually helps to warm them with a hair dryer before prising them off, so worth a try.      🙂

Late post…..

I have a Vixen GP, I can confirm that plastic disc is glued in place.  The one on the other side is too, that one has the altitude scale for adjusting to where you are, so if that one needs reattaching, you need to be careful to fix it precisely.
