how can i remove the grill plastic?
 

ive been trying to remove the plastic behind the grill to clean it and paint it and i took it off and i cant get that plastic off, i had all the bolts out as well... and i want to know to remove the chrome lines too in between the grill.



Thanks everyone

Take off the whole grille (chrome frame and all). I think there's two black rubber bumpers screwed in on either side near the bottom of the back side of the grille, and there may be another couple of clips near the middle that also hold the plastic in.

Once you get the plastic off, the chrome inserts slide right off either side if I remember correctly.

Hope that helps.

thanks, i hope that helps me tommorow, i did have the whole grill off and i took every single bolt off and i got stuck at the metal holding things on the sides, i ddint want to brake them and i dont know which way they come out

I think you can just grab them with pliers and wiggle them a bit while pulling them off. It's been a while since I've done it though, so I make no promises!

wear safety glasses when removing those clips

I just did this job yesterday. Had to repaint my grill from the sand blasting I got in Reno, Nv. last april. Damn that wind blows over there.

The Don is right about the glasses, those little buggers really fly.

the clip rests in a little recess on the plastic grill. notice that the clip curves up a bit on the end. I wiggled the clip back and forth and used two screwdrivers till the curved part was rising up on the plastic some. then used a brass drift and a hammer.

might be a good idea to lay a rag on them to keep them from going air born.
