I manage to get the covers off the reactor but can't find the core opening to drop in a grenade. I usually get overwhelmed & zapped. Is it attainable from the same level as the control panels (3rd) or somewhere else. Please help.

Okay, you know when those big cylinders pull away from the core? Jump on it immediately after pressing the button, and turn around. You'll see a white-hot vent open up. Don't use grenades, they take too long and take too much concentration. Get a rocket launcher at the armory - you'll have to search for it, but it's before the checkpoint 'light fuse, run away'.

Heyyo,

Another easy way to find the armory is go to the bottom of the level, and look on the floor for arrows and the word 'armory'. Remember to only shoot once the vents are up, or odds are it might miss.

For jumping on the cylinders? I like the middle one the most, cause then you can just back up onto the main catwalk by a good croutch-jump (jump, and croutch in mid-air..).

[EDIT]
Oh! watch out in the armory, you're not alone in there. ;)

Are you doing the Maw on Legendary? cause it's still supposed to be a piece of cake since PoA and Maw are the easiest levels on Legendary. But anyway get a shotgun and a rocket launcher from the armory, blast all the flood with shotty and when you open the reactor core use a rocket launcher. Wow, i think i just paraphrased everything that was said before me.
