Be careful. It might just "snap off"(or break) as Mike stated. I took a quick look at mine and couldn't figure it out. But then again, I wasn't going to risk breaking mine just trying to find out.

I'll second your thoughts George, I spent a good fifteen minutes fiddling with that part this morning on Bob 2 the Panel with no success. So I pulled out the service manual when I got to the office, and its REALLY helpful, "remove cover, belt adjuster".....but it doesn't tell you how to do it.

Ive done it and remembering it being pretty tricky. Dont take my word for it but if I remember right you undo a screw or two then it pops off, very stubborn pop off though.

OK I got it!!!

they unclip from the bottoms... then you gently pull straight up and they pop right off... little scary but simple
