Michael,

Upon reviewing old photos, I replaced mine in the same manner as Slim,
going on Stan's advice.
I am attaching pics which Slim sent me, as well as a quick sketch showing
the construction layout of the cabin roof and why removing the chainplate
would be difficult. But at least you can see what it looks like inside.
