Look for more screws.

Look underneath, see if there are any little plastic panels that will open to reveal screws, Look again on the sides. Those little screws really have a way of hiding.

If all of that fails, repeat this mantra:

"It's all for science, it's all for science, etc."

Keep repeating the mantra while you start jimmying the plastic stuff around the edges. Something's gonna start coming loose eventually. If it's all loose except for one area, look again for a screw in that area.

REMEMBER, Freon is odorless and not poisonous, or flammable but it can displace air in your lungs which can kill you. If you start hearing an angry hiss, make sure windows and doors are open and beat a hasty retreat.

You'll get all of the stuff off eventually... just go slow.
