Step 5:
Remove the center plastic 8mph impact bar. This will be reinstalled in Step 10. To remove the grilles you will need 2 people working on this and 2 large flat head drivers. In order to unlock the tabs holding the grilles it is best to work on 2 tabs close together at the time. Starting on one side of the grille apply pressure as shown in Fig.l. Then place your finger tips grille and pull upward as shown in Fig.J. You will unlock the tabs on one side and work your way to side. The order in which you should remove the illustrated in Fig. K2. |

Step 7:
Follow the examples in Fig's. 1, 2 & 3. On the guide tool #1 is to be placed on the flat side of the locking tab, #2 and #3 is to be placed on the lock side of the tab. Fig's 1, 2 & 3 show examples of the guide tool being used. |
Step 8: While holding the guide tool in place use a pointed marker to dot each location that needs to be drilled as shown in Fig. L. Once all the holes have been marked drill a 3/16" hole through the tabs, we recommend using some masking tape about 1/2" away from the tip, this will keep the drill bit from hitting the top of the bumper when drilling as shown in Fig.M
Step 9: Insert the painted grilled from the front of the bumper and install the Phillips screws provided in the hardware packet, do not tighten the screws until all of them ahve been started as show in Fig. N.
