Radiator cover

What's the trick to removing the cover on this type of radiator?

Intplm.

Sometimes there are clamps and or screws accessible on the inside from the bottom.
You may also be able to pry it open with a screw driver if its not painted shut.

First I would use a flashlight and mirror to see if there are any hidden clamps. If not, break the paint seal around the edges, then pull straight out at the bottom and slide down a half inch or so.

They are all different and there are no Majic tricks. Just investigate and take your time

I think on that one, you have to pull the front cover UP before pulling it OUT.

Agree, paint is probably gluing it together so will need to be pulled firm but slow.

Thank you all. It was the paint. It comes out by pulling up and then pull out the bottom.
