This is so ridiculous. I have an RCA D27185DW (CTC58/59) that I just can't get the chassis out of. I've worked on literally thousands of TV's (many of them RCA's to boot) and this is the first one that has me pulling my hair out. I have removed all the screws that secure the plastic carrier the PCB sits in, but it is hung up in the middle/front of the carrier. As it is just under the bottom of the CRT at this location, I can't see or get my hand in there to feel around too well, but what I can see and feel doesn't indicate any other screw or release of any kind. I feel so stupid. There must be come kind of catch there, but for the life of me, I can not find it. Every other RCA TV with a similar chassis/carrier design has been easy to remove after I removed the screws and/or cleared the side catches that prevent it from just pulling out. Can someone enlighten me as to how this particular chassis carrier is released and removed? I really appreciate the help.
I'll try to illustrate. You'll need to select "Fixed pitch font" so things line up correctly.

I can try to take pictures of it, (and post them to alt.binaries.schematics.electronic) but with the mating parts being all black plastic, I don't imagine the pictures will bring out any usable detail.
