Should be simple 1/4 inch so. S/R bypass sw. fixing, but for removing

I ended up graunching off the speaker cable clamp as it is inserted from
the inside , not the outside and simple mole-grip compression job to
remove it. (note to myself, next time confronted with this situation,
try a small driver between black plastic retaining tongue and the hole
in the steel and push inwards on plastic bulk, may work but not tried) A
plain grommet will be going back there as wires are loop-through
anchored plus solder to the pcb only 1.5 inches away anyway. How on
earth did someone assemble as no clearance space, you cannot even see
that area as surrounded by transformer and heatsink and casing. Just
referring to the heatsink, made me realise they probably assemble board
without LM3886T h/s and that goes in last. But then I would expect a
couple of holes in the rear of the casing to facilitate screwing on ,
would need some sort of miniature flexible shaft or right-angle-drive
screwdriver to tighten
Maybe the mains transformer goes in last, but very short wiring loom to
it and still you cannot see the speaker thru-hole area and awkward bent
finger tip insertion.
Anyone else confronted with this conundrum ?

I replaced the troublesome 1/4 jack in a couple of those but don't
remember any conundrums.

Perhaps you have the knack of pushing inwards these coupled together black
2part cable grips and then replaced them from the outside. I don't remember
coming across a situation of having to push one inwards to release, rather
than compressing with mole-grips and pulling from the outside.
