Use a flat tip screw driver to pus the old clips that hold the front lower mesh, of the bumper tabs. Once you remove them all you can push the mesh back and then twist it and pull it out the front of the opening. Te install the new mesh, remove the mower splash panel and slide the mesh up an ontop the tabs. Starting from the middle tabs and working out wards. you will have to trim the tabs narrower to fit insde the mesh opoening on some of the tabs as they are not all going to lione up exact.
 
My experience:

I didn't want to trim my bumper tabs and I found a really good way to get the mesh installed. Instead of cutting chunks of the mesh out, I took the thin edge of a flat file, maybe 1/8" thick? and worked it horizontally where diamonds met. Worked great, and the angle of the diamonds meeting kept the file straight and in place. This created very snug slots for the bumper tabs.
