Getting rid of the grille border item.



1. Eliminate the jack bar over the radiator

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



A few of my screws would not unscrew, so I used higher pressure with a flathead screwdriver and it worked with a lot of them. I damaged one off just because I could not get it out. When I put the screws back in, I just used hand stress and also I really did not need to use a screwdriver. I might have to change these with metal screws!

3. Remove the corner car park lights. They are held on by one celebrity screw from inside the hood. A tiny level head could be used if you don't have the right devices.



4. Get rid of all the screws that hold on the Grille surround body component. A lot of are on top under the plastic radiator cover you eliminated and also two lag the edge lights you removed.

5. Now below is the largest pain. Under the Grille border you have a plastic shadow that's hung on by plastic pins that enter simple, but not out very easy. I used a level head screwdriver as well as eliminated the two from the sides that connect to the fender. The pins might get a little ruined but I had the ability to reuse mine.



You just have to remove two from each side. Don't remove the pins that remain in the center of the surround. These were a HUGE pain in the ass for me. I ended up mutilating my pins and scraped up my bumper a little. I did not like this action one little bit! I was able to place them back in ok.



6. On the bottom of the grille surround somewhere in the center you will certainly see 2 long items linking the bottom 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 release.

You need to reach down, behind the grills as well as draw upwards on the little plastic clips. After that pull the grille border in an outward direction from the truck.

Removing the Grille from the Grille surround body.

1. I initially added some lube to the plastic clips that hold the grille on. 2007 dodge ram 2500 black grille I after that utilized a flat head screwdriver to pry the clips open. Beware because the clips can damage if you pry as well difficult

2. Once it's remove you need to eliminate the FORD oval and also place in on the new grille (Note: Mine featured an oval, so I avoided this step). 2019 ford escape raptor grill



3. I then added even more lube to the new grille item so it's very easy to set up back on the grille surround.



4. Double check to make certain all clips are tight before placing the grille border back on the vehicle. Do not what to take it off once more.



Return all parts backwards order.



This was a little more engaged than I believed it would be, but the outcomes deserve it. I'm not looking foward to doing it once again when I install my haze lights behind that grille! 2016 ram 1500 chrome grill Thanks to Brett (Up N Flames) for the directions and the great looking grille!
