[Glenn and Laureen]

After you take the bumper off and open or remove the grill cover, you have to disconnect the generator's exhaust manifold pipe from the rest of the exhaust pipe. (Mine takes about a 1 1/4 inch wrench.) There probably is also a pin in place on the slide that you have to remove. After doing both those things the generator should slide right out easily. Not doing either of these can result in a lot of fruitless banging and much personal embarrassment. Don't ask how I know this.
