yes , its ugly , but easy enough . .


It's just like any other grill , but massive ! !

its only held in place from the inside of the front casing. The metal is folded over like tabs.

I dont have pic's

Geoff,I used a heat gun and gently heated and scraped of the extra adhesive that is around the bent over tabs. Then I gently pried the tabs and straighten them with a flat needle nose pliers. Then it pried the grill off with a sturdy dull Table butterknife. It's not really that bad,just work at it you'll get it. Just take your time and curse a little. Laugh Out Loud Nod Yes

geoff --when you finally get to putting the side panels back on --use a good double-side tape --

if you glue them on --you are just making it again difficult for yourself or the next owner.
