2. Remove the screws (They are plastic so I would utilize a hand screwdriver and also not power) from the plastic radiator cover



A few of my screws would not unscrew, so I applied higher pressure with a flathead screwdriver and also it worked with a lot of them. I damaged one off just because I couldn't get it out. When I put the screws back in, I simply made use of hand pressure as well as I really did not need to utilize a screwdriver. I could need to replace these with metal screws!
