Answer

Hello Greg and thank you for your question. With the power cord unplugged, the timer knob can be pulled off of the timer. The back console panel screws would then be removed to allow the console to rotate forward. Taking a picture of how the timer is wired would be recommended. The wires can be transferred over to the new timer, the timer mounting screw removed, and the old timer pulled free. The new timer will insert into place and secure with the old screws. The console can be rotated and secured back in place and the knob set onto the new timer.
