How to remove Datejust movement?

I am going to refurbish my Datejust 16013 case and need to know how to remove the movement before i start.
Is the movement fixed into the case in some way?

Open the caseback
Tighten the two larger screws on the outer edge of the movement
Then rotate the movement until one of those screws is at the opening for the crown
The movement should come out if you flip over the case

Try to keep the movement as clean as possible and in a dust free container until it is ready to be re-installed
