for step three i would add “ the cables to be removed are under a type of flap/cover”. I don’t know if we have to be specific on what tools we used. If we do have to be specific than we will just add them. Other than that great work!

In Step 3, there are four cables to remove, not three (one more to the left which is not highlighted in the picture).
