Francesco,
I have a 182T, but I think it works the same. The front of the plastic you can get up by pushing up the top of the frame and take out the contrast screen and RFI screen.
To get at the back (I think that is what you wanted), take off the top cover. There are four screws around the four corners of the tube. (You should make sure the 182 is un-plugged, and be careful around the tube). The screws come out in the direction toward the rear. The one on the right top also goes through an aluminum bracket that also supports the board connected to the right front panel.
yes, I then downloaded the service manual and found out there were
only 4 screws to remove.
Unfortunately, I can't see how to get at the right lower screw without taking the board off, which looks like a pain to me. Maybe you can figure it out...
I didn't need to remove any board, the bottom screws are accessible
with a long screw driver.
By the way, the original rubber foam (or whatever it was) surrounding
the CRT face turned into a sticky dusty mess. I'm not sure how to find
a replacement, but I'll think about something if everything else in
the display works (I'm not sure about the tube itself since without
this rubber ring it was moving around during all the shipment).
Thanks
