I unbolted both of the side reinforcement bars on both ends,then just dropped the canister down through the valance panel,much easier than trying to get them out past the hood

4 nuts that hold them to the support. each has a cotter pin that attach them to the headlamp assembly. I have had mine out several times. I got to everything from under the front end. Don't cross the vacuum lines when you put them back in. Redwingvette38910.221724537
