They just snap in, thus all you need to do is grab about 3 or 4 of the slats and pull straight out. They should just pop right out.

you don't need to remove ANY bolts. Like Chuck said.

It took me 3-4 minutes, no joke. its the easiest mod evar.

grab a few slats, and pull out gentlyat first, then harder as you work it out. i did it, no probs, and no breaks in my original pieces.
