Not sure if anyone else has had one of these loosen up and need attention, so after speeking with Bill (Shadowman) and after countless tips from Rich and Denis (The GT GUY's) over the years, I pulled off the front nose section and re-attached the duct. I took some photo's during the process and they can be seen here: http://home.comcast.net/~skatesharpening/fascai01.htm , but the most aggrevating step, removing the inner fender liners remains unphotographed. Couldn't resist the urge to change grille styles for more cooling.

All this for three small screws holding this piece in place.

Your pictorial was wonderful and I enjoyed being a part of the process.

Thank you for the kind words Pete

Takes care as you obviously did.

A small momento from a small rink in the heart of Betheda replaced by a few park benches and shrubs. It was one of the last "public" outdoor rinks in this area.

As much struggling as it was to remove those fender liners, this was my 3rd time, with one small additional step they were on and secured in about 5 minutes each. Maybe 10.

The good ol' USPS lost the small #8 X 1/2 torx head screws from Michigan, had to do the hardware store match:
