intake grate help

[rxp2008]

Can someone please help me in removing an intake grate? I have 2008 RXP and I found thin branch stuck in the impeller so to get to it I either have to remove the intake grate or take the propulsion apart to get to it. I've read that the 4 bolts holding the grate tend to break off? Or is there couple nuts holding the bolts from the inside that I have to remove first? I'm trying to find information in the manual (2007) but can't seem to locate it anywhere. If anyone has any info please share. Thanks.

Have you tried turning the bolts out? If they are stuck use a little heat to loosen up the thread lock.

thanks, I decided to pull the intake housing out and it was easier than it looked. Problem still persists
