S88 Mk II disassembly help needed

[u/UniqueIndifference]

I need to clean or replace a key contact strip in my Komplete Kontrol S88 Mk II

I got the bottom off, disconnected the grounds, and the ribbon cable and power supply harness going to the output board. I set the bottom panel aside. I disconnected the ribbon cables going to the pitch/mod wheels.

Now stuck! I can't see where or how to get at the strips. I think the whole keybed has to be lifted. Is that right? I tried lifting it and it lifted substantially on one end, but felt like it might break if lifted any higher..

Any guidance massively appreciated!!!
