Lifted means you might have to put a screw driver under the bracket and pry it off the pin, especially if the bracket is somewhat bent which closes up the gap where the pin slips out. I actually took a pair of pliers and bent the bracket to open up the slot a little before I reinstalled the cover.

The slots cut in the bottom must have come along after
1968. I had the problem of screws being stripped out and was unable to get the lid off until I removed the whole range from the cabinet. I was going to do that anyway, so I guess I was not as creative as I could have been. I will certainly cut the grooves before I reinstall this week!
Thanks for the photo and sharing the experience of polishing.
