DIY: Grille Removal

Tools needed:

8mm socket
10mm socket
Socket wrench
Flathead screwdriver

Guide:

Red - Flathead screwdriver
Blue - 10mm socket
Yellow - 8mm socket
Green - pinch and push out
White - push out


Front end



First remove all clips circled in red with flathead (6 total), also remove all 10mm bolts circled in blue (10 total).



clips circled in red upclose



FYI: There are two 10mm bolts that are covered by rubber, pull back rubber and remove bolts

Left side (looking head on)



Right side (looking head on)



At this point you should be able to lift the cover up like this... dont lift it too much as it is still attached by 7 pinch and push clips (circled in green) and 2 push clips (circled in white)




Lift enough to reach in and undo the 7 pinch and push clips (circled in green) and the 2 push clips (circled in white)



Once all clips are removed it should lift up like this...



Removing this 10mm bolt and turning the reservoir away makes its easier to remove the plastic piece




wiggle this plastic piece out as it is now free... looks like this..



Top view



Now reach in and loosen the 5 8mm bolts (circled in yellow)





Next pinch and push 4 clips from the inside of the grille, top and bottom X2 (circled in green)



once completed it should look like this...



In total when removed you should have:

6 clips (circled in red)
10 10mm bolts (circled in blue)
5 8mm nuts (circled in yellow)

To put everything back together do the whole process in reverse...

Good luck!
