Replacing Q lnb

[chalky]

In preparation for installing a new twin tuner I need to replace a sky q lnb with a hybrid lnb which I have. Has anyone replaced a sky q lnb as looking at the existing one the cables appear to enter the lnb via a gland an a sliding cover which I would have thought protects the screw on F plugs
The cover doesn't seem easily removed, has anyone done this without damaging the lnb.

Thanks

Not seen 1 personally, does it not just slide up like on other types of lnb?

Not sure about other labs

Those are compression f-plugs.

Option 1.
Loosen the screw at the top of bracket, remove LNB (with wires attached), push housing in, and unscrew cables.

Option 2
Push housing up, unscrew f-plugs, loosen bracket screw. remove LNB.

By pushing the housing upwards how will it expose the plugs.

Just push it up, all will be revealed.

Them lnbs are chunky.

not really, has already been said most of that is a cover that slides up to expose the connections.

Thanks for all your replies.
I'd never seen this cover arrangement on a lnb before as all the previous ones I have fitted had exposed connections that needed amalgamating tape applied, but that was a few years ago though
