Depending on the year of manufacture and the type of model, the mounting locations may differ.

-open the hood and unscrew the screws (screwed from top to bottom).
-remove the radiator grille and unscrew the screw under it.
-remove the turn signals (you need to pry the latch from the inside with a screwdriver and pull the turn signal out).
-unscrew one screw on each side in the turn signal opening.
-under the car, unscrew the screws around the perimeter (screwed from bottom to top), which secure the lower part.
-turn the wheels to the left or right side, depending on which side we will disassemble first.
