How do you remove this thing? (battery tray drain/vent thing)

I can't figure out how to remove this damn thing. I cant see in behind it and i cant tell if its fastened with anything or if its just wedging itself in there. Ideas?

(not my pic -- thanks)

I think there is a plastic clip under the edge of the radiator hose that holds it on...might be one on the lower end as well..

Yeah, i had that one undone but i couldn't figure out what else was keeping it connected. My buddy, who has smaller hands than i, found another plastic screw that attaches to the radiator fan guard. You can get to it from the wheel well but its not easy. Even after getting the screw off it took a lot to coax it out.

It's removed now. Thanks Dan and i guess this thread is now just an FYI to all. You're welcome
