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

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!

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.
