Removing kitchen drawer front.

I need to remove a deep kitchen drawer front for repainting.

I've watched the YouTube videos so I know how to flip the Blum type catch on each side in order to unclip the drawer front.

But the drawer is deep, so it also has a couple of top bars on each side. How do you get the drawer front to detach from those bars ?

I can turn each of the bars. It looks like that is unscrewing something - but it also feels like something might snap.

TIA

My experience is that almost every manufacturer is different with these things. If you know the make, you might be able to find better instructions.

The OP mentioned Blum. Is it these? (Start at 1:40), https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sor9DqiA_zc

Thanks for that. The video inspired me... to use brute force.

Those bars just unclip at the back - I had to use a worrying amout of force to unclip them, but no components snapped !!

Onwards !!
