Can't remove my old GE JVM62002 spacesaver micro?

I have the exact same question as “Rosy” had (see “How do you remove a spacesaver microwave from the wall” – March 2007) about not being able to remove a GE JVM62002 over-the-range spacemaker microwave. My big problem is with the same exact, infamous model. I have removed every visible screw, tried everything and have surfed the web looking for answers and trying all of them without success. The answer to the above message made to Rosy from “bob,” however, offers some hope but I need further clarification and help from bob or anyone else. I found two white connector plugs behind a small metal cover on the right at the bottom behind one of the two removable filters although bob seems to refer to only one. Also, I couldn’t find the “three large silver screws under the micro” he mentioned. I have been a successful do-it-yourself-er for years but this beast has me buffaloed. Bill.

This is from GE instructions for that model:
1. remove two oval head phillips screws from ends of top grill and remove grill.
2. remove two flat head phillips screws behind grill which secures oven to outer case at top.
3. remove three shoulder phillips screws from front edge of bottom cover.
4. remove right hand grease filter by pushing filter rearward and lift out.
5. remove two screws behind grease filter which secures wiring cover and remove cover.
6. unplug wiring connector by squeezing to release.
7. slide out the oven assembly from the outer case. The oven is mounted like a drawer on two side rails.

Please cancel the need for help. It turned out that the microwave was mounted on rails so it just had to be pulled out directly rather than being hinged at the bottom and needing to be rotated downward for removal. Took me a long time to figure that one out. Thanks for your attention and help anyway.
