I just got a pair of billet grill inserts for my truck but i cant figure out how to get the old one out.. how do you get the black honeycomb inserts out?

 

i did this too!

theres little black circle things around the insert, and inside of the circle thing theres a pin, get a tiny screw driver and a hammer and tap out that center pin on each one. the honeycomb will come out with all the plastic rivets out. your new grille should have new rivets, place the rivets in the old holes and hammer the center pin down to lock the new grille in place. pretty easy any other questions just ask.

 

I orderd these inserts used so it didnt come with any rivits.. so what should i do? Can iuse the old ones?

 

i think so....its nice to have the luxury to just punch them out and not worry about picking them up, but if you have to its not a big deal, or call up your dealer, they should have some. did you order the oem chrome bar grille like mine or no? if so what did you pay?

 

Yes, Its just like yours - 100$ shipped

 

mine was $100 even with shipping. $89 for the grille and 11$ to ship it and mines brand new. when you look at the inside of yours.....you'll see the rivets. actually i think i still have the directions for it. and i can take a picture of the rivet and everything for you, but you would have to wait till saturday for me to go to my dads house to get the camera and the directions. dunno if you want to wait that long.

 

Yeah i figured it out.. And i figured out i will have to get new rivits haha

 

see what i mean by punching out the center piece? and why do you need new ones?

 

Yeah nevermind i got it figured out - i will do it tommorrow and post some pics

 

be sure to post pics, glad you figured it out. place the cylendar thing in the hole of the grille insert then tap in the pins to the cylendars
