For some reason I can't remove the lower drive out of my G5!

I'm wondering if the plastic screws but have unfastened and thats what is the causing the drive to seem stuck!

Anyone know of a solution?

I always use a swiss army knife to get the lower bay HDD out, at least for a thinner desktop drive.

They just get stuck sometimes. Brute force applied with care. You need someone with small, strong hands.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

I agree. The whole design was nice, but sometimes it's a pain to get the drive in and out. Mac Pro solved it nicely.
