Gen 4.5 Grill Removal HELP!

[GStarRocket]

ok..... HOLY CRAP

I've taken off the grill twice before..... but it seems like it gets harder EVERYTIME.

I'm repainting my bumper, so I need the grill out of the way. This is the first time I've tried to take the grill off with the bumper off as well. It's making it harder then it already is. The bumper feels like it's going to twist and frickin snap the tabs, or crack the bumper.


Does anybody know a trick to do this easily? I'm getting so frustrated!!!!! I figure I may get your guys help before I break something!!!!! I'm trying to fix my bumper not break it

if its the same as the gen3, take those two bolts off from the top ... sometimes mine get misaligned so i have to push forward or backward on them a little bit

also, my bumper sometimes presses on the bottom of the grille, so i push the bumper outward from inside [by the radiator braces]
