I need help with an old Motorola cd player

I have taken out the screws, but there is something between the battery bay and the volume dial that is keeping the bottom cover on, I need help opening it so I can replace the capacitors, you see, it won’t work and so I am blaming it on bad caps, and since I am experienced with soldering, I want to replace the capacitors myself, as this cd player is more than likely long discontinued, the model number is: A5258
