Default Fresh air vent

Hi again guys, i am taking off the grill over the wiper motors and heater vents...I have undone the ones you can see, but i am still getting some pulling back.

I know the scoosher has to come off but is it just prised off or screwed or will I get my hammer?

There looks like two 8mm or 7mm nuts at the front of the grill, engine side underneath the grill,(where the red dots are) that look a bugger to get too, do they need undone?

Cheers.

Graeme.

No, you have undone the 4 fixing. I found I had to push the r.h. wheel box right down, and pull the grill out from the windscreen side first

Ok, that has helped a bit.
The wiper arms that stick through the vent, doe they stay where they are or come out with the vent.

It seems to be attached in the centre or the grill vent, i gather that comes out with the vent?

Still getting some friction, but it has moved outwards about 2 inches.

Gee.
