I am replacing the masthead wiring, and have come across a problem of access to the circuit breaker for the steaming light. It is the white wire, 3rd breaker in the photo. The other circuits on the right hand side of the panel pose no obvious challenges (yet!).
To access the screw connecting the wire to the breaker, I would ideally need to remove the plastic cover protecting the back of the 110 volt breakers. But there is no obvious way of doing this, given that the nuts holding the cover in place (on the right hand side in the photo) seem pretty inaccessible. One possible approach is removing the bus bar behind all the circuit breakers, then removing the circuit breaker for the steaming light, replace the wire and then put everything back. But this seems a tad ridiculous. Anyone found a better method? Is there an easy way to remove and reinstall the Plexiglas cover that has just not occurred to me?
