Thanks in advance... and with thanks to Alex for 'borrowing' his pictures from another thread... I've done the 'search' and this is the best I can find... soooooooooooooo...

the question....

HOW do you remove these plastic pieces 'easily' ???


(Alex' thread: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ation-how.html )

and to quote from that thread:
To install the filter in front of the radiator, there is a little plastic piece that wedges in place next to the radiator and is held in place by 2 plugs. Normally, this piece acts as a snorkel for the stock airbox but it was unnecessary and had to be removed to fit the filter element where I wanted it .Rudy suggested that I remove the screw holding the bumper cover on near the right side headlight so that area would have a bit more give and free up some room for yanking on the snorkel. It proved incredibly difficult to remove the plugs holding it in place so I ended up going at it with a small saw to cut pieces away to make it easier to remove! Probably not the recommended way to do it but it was all I could think of at the time. One plug is located at the bottom of the piece and attaches at the metal bumper support. The other plug is located sorta behind the upper metal piece that spans the front of the engine bay (not sure what it's called!) The bottom plug was a pain to get out and I ended up prying it out with a screwdriver eventually. For the upper plug, I had to go in from behind it with a phillips screwdriver and use a hammer to pound it out. Not ideal...

Here's the mangled piece I managed to get out:
