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.

I wish it was a little clearer in memory but I don't recall anything of
notability besides the 1/4 jack was red on the end.
