new grille- cant remove old

sketto101 · February 28th, 2008, 06:48 PM

I just bought new billet grilles an i cant get the old middle one (one with pony insert) all the way off, i got the top four screws off but i cant get to the bottom four off

i think your going to have to take the bumper off cus i was going to paint mine and nothing i had would fit the screws or whatever they were

sketto101 · February 28th, 2008, 07:08 PM

yea i was hopin i wouldnt have to resort to that

obdnanr · February 28th, 2008, 07:14 PM

taking the front bumper off is like 2 screws on each side, you gota kinda remove the fender well thing to get to them and thats about it

poof505 · February 28th, 2008, 07:17 PM

yeah i know but sounds like a pain in the butt

obdnanr · February 28th, 2008, 07:32 PM

WLJohnson05 · February 28th, 2008, 07:33 PM

A ratchet and 9/32nds socket, you can lift the grille and bumper cover enough to get them.

If you end up having to remove the bumper is easy. Its just 2 bolts, and 1 screw on both sides, 2 screws on the bottom if I remember correctly.

Can be removed, grille removed, and replaced in about an hour. Lets see some pics when your done man !
