I have been searching for over an hour to find out how to remove the bobbin case on my 'new' 201-2 to clean under it. I can't really find any information except a few places where it said that it's hard to take out and hard to get back in. Has anyone here had any luck removing the bobbin case and putting it back in? How about the feed dogs? I just want to get all of the lint and debris out from under that area.

I have the instructions from the manual but I can't quite figure out what they are saying to do. I even have the little tiny screw driver that the manual calls for.

See it here:

I wasn't able to open the link either. I wish I had the answer for you. I'm getting to know my FW 221-1 and the song 'getting to know you' has been going through my head all weekend instead of sewing. I have the manual and am also referring to troubleshooting websites.
