I thought this might have been covered, but a search didn't yield anything helpful.  I bought some Tanos T-Locs for some of my older Festools and some other tools, including my Kreg jig and accessories.  I would like to put the Kreg stuff in an attic systainer (I bought one).  The problem is that I really need it in a Sys 3, but the attic systainers are only in a Sys 2.  Consequently, I would like to switch the lids on two systainers, to make a Sys 3 an attic systainer.  Before I do something that might damage one of these costly boxes, can someone explain the proper way to remove (and replace) one of these lids?  Thanks.
 
Done.  It was easy.  I used a hammer and a short bolt as a punch to knock out each of the hinge pins from the inside.  (Use something with a flat bottom, not a point, as your punch--so as not to risk punching a hole in the plastic pin).  Reversing the process is even easier, since you just need a hammer to knock the pins back into position (from the outside).  Thanks for the link and the video.
