Use a Phillips #4 screwdriver or driver with the Phillips #4 head to unscrew the two 0.6 mm diameter brass screws from the lamp's housing.
For the lower screw, ensure it remains in the hole in the lamp assembly and it does not fall into the projector. If it falls in the projector, use a magnetized screw bit or a small magnet to pick it up and remove it.
