Removing the grille surround item.



1. Remove the jack bar above the radiator

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



Some of my screws wouldn't loosen, so I used upward pressure with a flathead screwdriver and also it worked with a lot of them. I damaged one off even if I could not get it out. When I put the screws back in, I simply used hand pressure and I really did not have to use a screwdriver. I may have to replace these with metal screws!

5. Currently here is the biggest pain. Under the Grille border you have a plastic shroud that's held on by plastic pins that go in very easy, yet not out easy. I utilized a flat head screwdriver as well as removed both from the sides that affix to the fender. The pins may get a little messed up but I had the ability to reuse mine.



You just need to get rid of two from each side. Don't remove the pins that remain in the center of the border. These were a HUGE annoyance for me. I ended up mutilating my pins and also scraped up my bumper a little. I did not like this step one little bit! I was able to put them back in ok.



6. Under of the grille border someplace in the center you will see 2 lengthy items connecting all-time low of the grille border to a part of the framework. It's held on by a clip you ought to have the ability to press to launch.
