Remove front scuttle panel.

Remove the bumper complete with irons , two bolts each side into the frame rails.

Take out front grille complete with slam panel , which is bolted to front wings top & bottom , also disconnect wiring harness from light assembly.

Be real carefull when you separate grille from slam panel , if you can remove the bolts without braking summit you should of gone into brain surgery.

Dont think the crowbar will help ray.

The charger grills are usually able to break without much brute force.

All out, not broken - as per Adam's excellent instructions.

Just need the repair parts now......Grille spacers, bolts, etc. And lots of glue.......

That must be the quickest grille removal in history.

Love the crowbar.

Good to meet you last week Mark.

Hi there! Black spacers and bolts would be great, thanks. Biggest problem is that I need a replacement "I" section, and they are SOOOOO expensive.
