How to remove 2010 Tao grill

The top nuts and tab and nuts are easy, it's the bottom that I can't get to

 

IIRC, all you do is pop up those two plastic tabs, then undo the (10mm, I believe) nuts or whatever with a ratchet...then pull the grill STRAIGHT UP and it should come right out!

 

Not that easy my friend, I'm in Canad, I don't know if it's the Canadian model but there are two plastic tabs on on each side of grill on BOTTOM next to the DTRL, they just don't slide UP like the other bud says

 

Canadian Taco here, there is NO sliding this baby up, the two plastic screws on bottom of gril on inside the heads are facing OUTSIDE so I can't get to it, GET IT, the plastic screw heads hidden by freakin design, THERE has got to be a thread about this on this site.

 

pictures. All taco's were built the same. It is very simple to pull it up.

THE top one in BIG green circle, I thought I had to remove that in order to remove grill ROOKIE MISTAKE, so bro, you saying that all I need to do is remove the TWO metal bolts TWO plastic tabs/screws on tap then PULL the grill UP to take it off................Thanks

 

Thanks for the advice bro, let me know when you in Vancouver, I'll return the favor

 

After you have the 4 on top removed, just pull straight up. Just be careful the bottom ones easily break. I broke them on my stock grill. Although it didn't seem to effect the grill being held snugly in place. Was more careful with my Satoshi not to break the bottom ones on this.

 

Thanks bro, I got family in Kansas, I'll let you know when I'm in yo hood ....Thanks boys.

 

Mine slides straight up

Remove the two top bolts and the two pins , pull straight up

The first time I did it I was suprised at how hard I had to pull

 

I hear yaa buddy, took some time but I figured it out, I'm NOT a one trick pony

 

I tell you WHY it's HARD to pull, because there are two little TAB kinda thingie down there, you gotta squeeze the head it looks like a upside down V, THEN IT SLIDES OUT LIKE KNIFE THRU BUTTER

 

how are you my Canadian friend....I'm in Surrey, you close, I'm assuming...I could use a local Taco expert

 

Yes I know , I've taken mine of and on a few times

 

Me too , let me know when you find one

 

I sprayed some White Lube in the two tab "sockets" at the bottom for the next time.
Be sure to use something that's gonna stay pliable and not gonna freeze
My grill's been in and out some 25+ times.
Always expect one of those tabs to break, but so far so good.

EDIT: something that's gonna stay liquid and not gum up below freezing, would be a better description
