Beginning on the left side without the grate, run the spudger along the crevice until you've reached the grated part, while holding the part that's being separated as you go.

Keep holding the partially separated panel open. It's easiest to do this by wedging a spudger into the opening but can also be held open by your hands.

Rotate the Xbox to the left to locate the clip connecting the front panel to the body. Insert the spudger inside the gap to release the clip. This may require wiggling the spudger. The clip will pop off, making the front panel looser.

Flip the Xbox so the opposite side is towards you. Make sure to keep the separation open.

Locate the other clip and insert the spudger to remove it.

Continue to run the spudger along the crease to release any further clips that may still be attatched.

Now that the front panel has been released from its clips you can pull off the front panel.
