2) Removed the bottom tray and then used the visegrips to grab hold of an old set screw. Then rotated to remove the screw.
3) After all set screws were removed, put a little anti-seize compound on the new set screws. Started the new screws with a nut driver.
4) Finished. The rails were a perfect fit for the Weber Genesis 1000 purchased in the mid 1990's. Yep, figure I have another 5 years on the grill before I breakdown for a new one.
Bottom tray rail assembly rusted out and fell off.
