Make sure, there's nothing recorded on the tape you want to keep, because this mod will destroy it...
Not this step, but some of the following steps will do so...

Take your tape, flip it around and take a look at the underside of it:
Do you see these screws? Grab your screwdriver and get them out of there, but don't lose them, ok?
Now pick up the tape and turn it around so the topside is up again, make sure to hold it together, so it can't seperate while you turn it, otherwise the reels may fall out and all the tape would unroll, and that's bad mkay?

Gently pull the cover off, if the flap which normaly protects the tape comes off, too, don't worry it's easy to put it back on, we won't even need the small spring later...
