If your units has the cut outs to remove the plastic targets this post is enough to get the unit cleaned and lubed which is great. For those who don't be patient there will be more to come.

STEP 2.  Undo the 4 screws holding the plate on the side of the unit with the Drop Targets two of these will also hold the
              mounting bracket for the unit.

STEP 3.  Undo the upper spring that attached to the guitar looking thing and the Drop Target there is no need to remove it from
              the target just the guitar to do this use pointy nose pliers or a flat screwdriver but be careful not to stretch them or
              loose them.    Remove these by holding the spring with your fingers and use your tool of choice to get the spring loop
              from over the metal lug.  Now simply remove the Target

STEP 4  Now take a toothbrush with metho and remove as much grease and crud from all metal components

STEP 5  Now place a small drop of machine oil on any moving metal to metal  parts

STEP 6  Carefully clean the targets with metho except the picture area i try cleaning this dry first then water then windex
             until it comes clean but be careful not to stuff the picture

STEP 7 Re install by reversing the procedure above
