Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead. I'm having some problems removing the grille. I've removed all the bolts and now I need to disengage the claws. How do I do that? The ones from the bottom are not visible so how do I disengage those ones? The grille won't budge.

I had the same problem when I pulled my grille last week. I ended up taking the bumper off ( Which takes 10 minutes and is quite easy ) Then you can see all the claws.

Remove left Oxygen Sensor1 bank1 (next to battery).
Which way is best (e.g. easier or faster) without removing too many parts.

The easiest way I found was just taking off the bumper. Next time I do it I'll make a DIY.
If you have a 10mm wrench or socket and a phillips screwdriver you can take off the bumper. I'm sure there is a DIY for that somewhere. After that, taking the grille and grille surround apart is pretty simple.

Yeah I figured if you an see what you're doing it's much easier

I have all the tools but really don't want to attempt to take the bumper off...I think it will be putting it back on that troubles me, I always get stuck on those steps
