Summit Platinum Burner Removal

[MJPebbs]

I'm trying to replace the cross over burner tubes on this platinum but it is not obvious to me how to remove the burner tubes to get to the cross over. I see two rusted screws on either side near the manifold (pictured to the left of the left most control valve) Any ideas?

You have to pull the manifold back, then slide the burners out. IIRC those 2 screws to the sides allow the manifold to slide back and off

Of course, the two rusted frozen screws! I already added PB Blaster but this is only the beginning I'm sure.

Well be aware to not get into a money pit with it. The burners are expensive, the flavorzier bars are crazy expensive and it likely has the rotted firebox malady

I only grabbed this for the grates, but it appears to have seen little use, everything besides the cross over seems to be usable so I will try to flip it.
