 For the purposes of this manual, “left” and “right” references will refer to the MiTail’s orientation when worn on the body, relative to the wearer. So, the “left” side is the side of the MiTail on the wearer’s left.

+===== MiTail Case =====
+The MiTail case is injection-molded ABS. Replacements may be ordered from The Tail Company, or installed by a repair depot.
+==== Case Screws ====
 There are eight Phillips-head self-tapping screws holding the case together. In addition to a serial number foil may be present that must be cut or removed to open the case. One of the screws is behind the left actuator cable, and is easy to miss.

+==== Case Replacement ====
+Replacing the lower case half (with the belt hook portion) is the most common reason for replacing the MiTail case. This requires that the case be opened, the two batteries taken out of the case, the control board removed, the four servo frame mount screws be removed, and the servo pulley be removed from the servo. The cable must be removed from the pulley to remove the case half from the cable.
+The disassembly is then reversed. Note the procedure in [[#Resetting Servo Home Position]] to reset the pulley position on the servo shaft correctly.
