Just two fasteners on the MEB clamp to release then the panel can be eased off.
Need to cut some thermistor (temperature sensor) wires before the panel can be completely removed and handed to Bueno.

No need to drive off FCP/MEB panel assy with PGT since it is already free (there are 3 drive off bolts that Mass could have used if it was not loose).

the cable appears to have some 'memory', in that it doesn't want to do what they want. The suggestion was to loop it. Nothing said, but seems to be going good.

I don't have the documentation handy, but is there a mitigation plan for securing the fasteners during re-entry? I mean, is there a chance they could break free from the capture plate due to the high Gees?
