Default Removing the grill inserts

Anybody have any pointers? I tried searching and it tells me that it can't find anything no matter what I search. I am not for sure if it is my computer or what. I would appreciate any help, sorry for the repost if it has been done before.

are you talking about the little miny body pins that hold them in? all you have do to is push the center through. dont worry bro i nearly lost it when i changed mine out. get a tiny screw driver and push them through.

You mean from the back side push them? I already broke one. Does anybody have the OEM part number for these little biotches. It might be easier to break them all off and replace them. I just cant seem to get them to slide out. Maybe wd40 will help.

I pulled my whole grill assembly off and then just pushed them straight through into the assembly with the grill sitting face down on the floor in the house. Then just collected all the little pieces after I had the grill inserts out, so I could replace it later.

There are plastic hooks that snap into it. They are a pain in the A$$ to get out. Be careful and take your time.

Ya i replaced mine too, I used a pair of needle nose plyers. Just take your time and try not to get frustrated. And the other ones snap in.
