Default Procedure for replacing front splitter?

Its time to replace mine.

Does anybody have a procure to replace this part?

There are two Torox screws, but then 8 or so push tabs - looking at my new part. Does it just require a good "yank" or is there a better way to remove?

Many thanks

-Alvin

You don't want to yank as you could deform the female side receiver.
Insert a small, flat head screwdriver in the back to release each tab by depressing the saw tooth shaped tab.
