2. Eliminate the screws (They are plastic so I would make use of a hand screwdriver as well as not power) from the plastic radiator cover



Several of my screws wouldn't unscrew, so I used higher pressure with a flathead screwdriver and also it worked on most of them. I damaged one off even if I couldn't get it out. When I put the screws back in, I just made use of hand stress and I really did not need to use a screwdriver. I may need to replace these with steel screws!

5. Now right here is the biggest discomfort. Under the Grille border you have a plastic shroud that's hung on by plastic pins that go in easy, but not out simple. I utilized a level head screwdriver as well as eliminated the two from the sides that connect to the fender. The pins might obtain a little screwed up but I was able to recycle mine.



You just need to remove two from each side. Don't remove the pins that remain in the facility of the surround. These were a HUGE annoyance for me. I ended up mutilating my pins as well as scraped up my bumper a little. I did not like this step one little bit! I was able to put them back in ok. 2018 ford f150 replacement grill
