Removing the grille surround piece.
1. Remove the jack bar above the radiator

2. Get rid of the screws (They are plastic so I would certainly utilize a hand screwdriver and not power) from the plastic radiator cover
Some of my screws would not unscrew, so I used upward stress with a flathead screwdriver as well as it dealt with the majority of them. I damaged one off just because I couldn't get it out. When I put the screws back in, I just utilized hand pressure and also I really did not have to utilize a screwdriver. I may need to change these with steel screws!

3. Eliminate the edge parking lights. They are hung on by one celebrity screw from inside the hood. A little flat head could be made use of if you don't have the right devices.
4. Eliminate all the screws that hang on the Grille border body part. A lot of are on top under the plastic radiator cover you removed and also two are behind the corner lights you eliminated.

5. Currently here is the biggest discomfort. Under the Grille surround you have a plastic shadow that's hung on by plastic pins that enter easy, however not out easy. I made use of a level head screwdriver and also got rid of both from the sides that connect to the fender. The pins might get a little screwed up but I was able to recycle mine.
You just have to remove 2 from each side. Don't remove the pins that remain in the facility of the surround. These were a HUGE pain in the ass for me. I ended up mutilating my pins as well as scraped up my bumper a little. I did not like this action one bit! I had the ability to put them back in ok.
6. Under of the grille border someplace in the center you will certainly see 2 lengthy pieces attaching the bottom of the grille surround to a part of the framework. It's hung on by a clip you should have the ability to squeeze to launch.

You have to reach down, behind the grills as well as pull upwards on the small plastic clips. After that pull the grille border in an outward direction from the vehicle.
7. Currently you must have the ability to get rid of the entire grille surround with grille included.
Eliminating the Grille from the Grille border body.
1. I initially included some lube to the plastic clips that hold the grille on. 2019 ford f150 platinum grill I then used a flat head screwdriver to pry the clips open. Be careful since the clips can break if you pry too hard
Grille surround eliminated
2. Once it's eliminate you require to eliminate the FORD oval as well as put in on the brand-new grille (Note: Mine came with an oblong, so I avoided this step).
3. I after that included even more lube to the brand-new grille item so it's simple to set up back on the grille border.
4. Double check to make sure all clips are tight prior to placing the grille border back on the vehicle. Do not what to take it off again.
Put back all components backwards order.
This was a little bit a lot more involved than I assumed it would be, however the outcomes are worth it. I'm not looking foward to doing it once again when I install my fog lights behind that grille! Thanks to Brett (Up N Fires) for the guidelines as well as the amazing looking grille! Feel free to PM me if you have any concerns.
