Making things hard for no reason

Has anyone changed a backup alarm a D51pxi before this is the stupidest setup I've ever seen. The alarm is between the fan grates/guard and the actual fan when you unbolt it the gas struts push the grates out making the alarm accessible. Getting the fan bolted back to the grates/ guard that have the struts attached to them is the worst part. Correct me if I'm wrong this shouldn't be this difficult for a backup alarm.

    If it was accessible, the operator would unplug it. There's the reason. Having been down that road, I'm diggin' what yer shovelin'.

    That ain't hard----what's hard is trying spread ice cold butter on a hot pancake without tearing holes in it.

    McDonalds is bad for that. They have good hotcakes but give you frozen butter that's kind of useless.
