side vent removal

[jmatta]

I removed both of mine years back to paint the grills arctic silver...my recollection was of being very careful, but it wasn't that big of a deal.

I got them out with some patience and a plastic frosting spreader from the wifes collection of do-dads--You need to push on the grill at the 1st and 4th fins(with the spreader or similar tool) on both sides to separate it from the air guide (after removing the screw from the top)there is a groove in the guide at the bottom left corner so you need to push it up and to the right after you are sure it is separated from the grill--Personally I think an overpaid engineer overthought this one.
