How do I pull a grill?

[withac]

I've got a 2K 'Ho. I'm trying to take off the grill. I got the top clips but it's still attached at the bottom and ends. I don't want to yank too hard and break anything. Suggestions?

I do not know if your setup is similar to mine as I have a 06 Z71 Tahoe. But anyway:
I had to pull the radiator shroud and unsnap a variety of top clips.
I also had to pull the pins and remove the headlights, in order to get to the lower turn lights. Once you snap them out, I could access the lower side snaps for the grill. Last, there was one screw in the dead center.

Try this route. If not, you'll have to hit up someone with the same year.

Thanks. I'll go take a look.

Never mind, figured it out.

So, was there any special trick to it?

I know you pulled it already, but I'm posting this for reference for others.
First, you'll have to remove the upper radiator cover. There are seven(7) push pin clips holding the cover in place. Use a panel clip removal tool (or similar tool) and remove the clips. Remove the cover. See pic below.

b. Next, there are four plastic retainers, a 10mm bolt, and two clips holding the grille in place. (the next pic will show the locations of the bolt and retainers with the upper radiator cover in place. They are easier to see and get to with the cover off).

c. Twist the plastic phillips head retaining screws about 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to disengage.

d. Remove the 10mm bolt from top center area of grille.

e. Each end of the grille is held in place by snap in clips. Carefully pull to un-snap each end to remove the grille. Below is the location of the clips.

Awesome JK, thanks for the great post. Is it fair to assume that the process is the same for the Yukons?
