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 !
