Radiator shutters

How do you remove radiator shutters on unstyled B? I have the four bolts removed, also removed the 2 bolts from the radiator lower tank. It now moves around a bit, but won't come out.

Take out the 4 bolts on the corners of the shutters. Push entire assembly up. Pull bottom out and down, and pull out to one side or the other. This sounds simpler than it really is.

Worst case you may have to remove enough components to slide radiator back to get enough room between radiator and pedestal.

Four bolts that holds the shutters. Plus, there may be a top-tie bar that may need to be taken off. Then as UnstyledB has said, plus wiggle-wiggle and out.

Much thanks guys! Wiggle wiggle, tap on left side with my palm, and out it came. I imagine touch up will be necessary after paint when I reinstall. However, that is in the far off future....

A good working set of shutters is getting to be a very hard thing to find.
