    In the back is a small rubber grommet that once removed will give you access to that bolt then up in front is another bolt. That's all the ones that i remember

    That covers "two of the four bolts".

    Bolts securing the two lower cowling "halves" are located:

    -One, inside at front
    -One, below at front
    -Two, inside at rear (one of which is accessed as described above).
