Detailed info on Cherry stabilizer mod?

[MGMorden]

Hey guys.  I'm more of a buckling spring fan usually (have 2 Model M's at home), but at work I've been using a Cherry MX Blue based keyboard.  It has Costar style stabilizers and those felt good. 

Today I got in a new board to try out that has Cherry-style stablizers and OMG I CAN'T STAND these things.  Every regular key feels fine and then I wince every time I hit a stabilized key.

I've seen some instructions on how to clip the little plastic "foot" off of the stabilizer to improve the feel however they all seem to omit the part about actually removing the stabilizer from the board. 

Does anything know of a video or photo tutorial on how to remove (and ideally reinstall) the Cherry stabilizers?  Thanks!

EDIT: Sorry I missed the point of your thread.
Is your board plate or PCB mounted? In the first case you have to desolder all the switches to take the plate off.

This guy shows you how to install them.  To remove it just do the reverse of it.

Basically you have to desolder the switch corresponding to the stabilizer first.  After that you push the "tab" on the north side of the stabilizers (side away from you, push the tab towards you) which unlocks the stabilizer and then you can lift it towards you in a half arc motion.

After that align the stabilizer bar then  slide off the middle notch on the plate.

To be honest the annoying part is desoldering, after that removing the stabilizer parts aren't too hard.  Let me know if you manage to get it to work.

I'm pretty sure all my boards are cherry stabilized, some are great and some are not.  I'm not sure what causes the variance. 

I've noticed on the Poker, and probably others too that the stabilized keys have extra holes for a switch on each side.  Could you not put in a switch and take out the spring?  Would this not funtion as a better stabilizer?
