2. Remove the screws (They are plastic so I would certainly use a hand screwdriver and also not power) from the plastic radiator cover



Several of my screws wouldn't loosen, so I used higher stress with a flathead screwdriver and also it dealt with most of them. I damaged one off even if I couldn't get it out. When I placed the screws back in, I just made use of hand stress and I really did not have to make use of a screwdriver. I might need to change these with steel screws! 2021 f150 aftermarket grille

5. Now below is the largest discomfort. Under the Grille surround you have a plastic shroud that's held on by plastic pins that enter simple, yet not out simple. I made use of a level head screwdriver and removed both from the sides that attach to the fender. The pins might obtain a little screwed up however I was able to reuse mine.



You only need to get rid of 2 from each side. Do not eliminate the pins that are in the center of the surround. These were a HUGE annoyance for me. I wound up mutilating my pins and also scraped up my bumper a little. I did not like this step one little bit! I had the ability to place them back in ok.



6. On the bottom of the grille surround someplace between you will certainly see two long pieces attaching all-time low of the grille surround to a part of the framework. It's held on by a clip you must have the ability to press to launch.
