Magimix toaster disassembly

[rbates51]

One of the elements in my Magimix ‘Le Toaster’ 11516 needs replacing. I know it’s replaceable as BBS sells the part and also offers a repair service.
I can’t work out how to get access though – there’s a single screw on the underside. So after removing that it’s presumably either prising it open from some unknown starting position, or confidently pulling on a part to remove it.
Any tips / knowledge welcome as all the videos I’ve found are for the later Magimix Vision which is quite different.

Something has to be holding the base firm on all sides so I would first remove the feet and then with a fine blade check out the three slits at the bottom of your photo. Removing the crumb tray at the top of the photo may give a clue as well.

​​​​​Thanks, I’d removed one of the feet but wrongly decided they wouldn’t help disassembly .
Any tips on removing these spade connectors? I know they’re often secured with a tab but it doesn’t look like these are. I’m quickly discovering how fragile the element is.

there is a lock dimple in the middle

grip the metal with pliers then use a screwdriver to gently lever it off
