Just give it a gentle push from behind Mate as they only clip into place.

You may find that they will not clip back in, I could not get mine back in no matter what I did.  :smiley:

Yep but I could not get them to clip back in, I fitted a pair of lower ducts in the end.

The trick lads is to get down on your back and reach up and after a damn good swearing session then it will just happen for you  :grin: :grin:
