The radiator grill has 3 special fasteners. The OEM version uses an allen wrench to turn. They're a little strange as they turn a metal tab, but are also spring loaded, so it takes several turns to turn the tap 1/4 of the diameter. (This is easier to do than to explain.)

On my coach, I replaced the three fasteners with stainless steel ones with a slot. (A quarter works perfectly to turn them.) The grill is a little 'fussy' to re-position as a metal tab at the bottom that holds it in place is a little tight.

The fasteners are held in place by two pop rivets each.

Thanks everyone for the responses.  Pete you were right about the 

retarder.  I guess my old age and senility set in and helped me to 

get my two coaches mixed up.  I had not verified what the second 

small radiator(it does have two electric fans mounted on it) did.  

I'm going over to the bus this afternoon and will look.  I have not 

ever removed the outer grill that covers the radiator.  If memory 

seves me correctly the only fastener that I see on the outside of the 

grill is a pop rivet at the top.   What is the procedure for removing 

the grill to clean the radiator?  Thanks again, MIke Mcmahan 96 42'
