In step 2, "the faceplate's bottom hinges" are plastic hinge covers that are (or, at least, were) part of the bezel. You may be able to take the bezel off while they're still attached, or you may have to break the flexing points so that they come off separately. Either way, it doesn't seem to cause a problem.

Thanks, Cory.
