The outer square does not come out. The two swiveling diffusers do. They have a plastic pivot pin on each side that fits in an indent in the plastic frame. Take a palette or putty knife and slide in between the diffuser and the frame to release the pivot pin. may have to do both sides at the same time, been several years since I replaced mine. There is a thin plastic shim between the two parts also if I remember right.

They are held on behind the dash with 2 of those small 7-8mm screws.

Thank you for your response. Due to filthy Ac tubes, I took out the entire dash to clean. Was able to take apart. Where are you located in MN? Thx .. Byron
