VX-8R Software Mod Help Needed

Question for those who have done the VX-8R software mod...

Here is where I get lost/stuck:

Steps:
1. push HM/RV + MENU power on
2. turn DIAL to choose MODE ***
3. push Function/w

Step Questions:
1. Do I push all three buttons at the same time? How do I know if I was successful? I don't see any indications that I was hence why I think I am doing something wrong.
2. Assuming I did do step 1 correctly, when I then turn the dial it only changes frequency and there is no way for me to dial to "MODE ***". What am I missing?
3. Looking for confirmation that Function/w is the number "9" key.

PS: I did the extended band resistor mod last night on the VX-8G and it worked fine . Needed to get the magnifying glass out to see it but no problems removing it with the tweezer method.

Thanks for help.
