I have worked on thousands of these and I *never* pull the side panel to take out the KAT3 (or KANT3) boards. Too difficult if there is a sub-receiver and too likely to introduce a problem (broken regulator(s), miss-pinned sub receiver) from removing all that.

Take off top cover and take out top rear screw thru rear sheet metal next to KAT/KANT3 board standoff.
Take out zinc bolt and split washer holding the KAT/KANT3 card.
Push the rear sheet metal back slightly and rock the card until it pops up, then pull the antenna wire pin(s) out of the board and pull the rest of the way out.
