With your posts I'd expect for you to be more knowledgable here in DRIVER. Just do a SEARCH using the topic GRILLE INSTALL, there are several so you have a choices.

after you remove the 4 pop rivets, look at the far end of the grill (left or right, doesn't matter) where it meets the core support. there's a tab back there that snaps into the core support. pull the end of the grill forward while pressing the tab with flathead screwdriver. it should slide right out (the clamps on the bottom don't do much). the opposite end of the grill will usually be loose enough by this point that you don't need a screwdriver to release the tab.

use a long flat head screwdriver to get to the two square shaped plastic pieces to turn them that was the biggest pain for me because i couldn't find the right tool for it
