I'm in the process of trying to replace my radiator and thermostat and I need to remove the shroud, but I have no idea what to do with the 4 clips that are holding it into place. I've already got the bolts out, but the plastic clips just wont bulge.

I'm trying to be very careful here as I dont want to break anything. So, what do I do to remove these plastic clips?

Nevermind. Got it out. That was a PITA, especially the passenger side clips. Had to use something long and metal like a flat head and wedge it in between the fan shroud and the side panel and started prying.
