The grill is held in with 6 or 8 plastic washers. They are rectangular and have a keyhole shaped opening in them. When the grill is installed, the pins on the grill go into the large end of the keyhole and the washer is then slid to the side to lock it in place.

What you'll have to do is with the hood released, reach your fingers under the hood, behind the grill and find these retainers. Push them over to release the pins on the lower edge of the grill and you should then be able to pull the grill out enough to reach the mechanism and free the hood.

These retainers are about 3/4" long by 1/4" wide as I recall. I think the grill is plastic so be carefull not to break it's mounting pins while fumbling with the retainers.

After writing all this I recall that Bay 13 has the procedure. Go to:

Good luck,
