You need to remove the security bolts from the top.

there are two "break off head bolts" that hold it on on the top. Im not sure how they come off but after you take them off just replace them with normal bolts.

You can also saw a groove across the top of the bolt head with a hacksaw blade and use a flat screwdriver to remove them.

I'm just trying to remember when I learned that the contraction for "trying to" is "tryna"
