Grille, Lower

The first task involves eliminating the radiator grille ornament plate through use of the 12 screws and removal of the ornament plate. You must use a screwdriver with taped tip to eliminate the 3 claws securing the emblem on the radiator grille. Maintain cautious handling of emblems that will be used again to protect both the emblem itself and its base.

The process of radiator grille removal begins with unfastening the grille then continuing with the No.1 radiator grille lower followed by the No.2 radiator grille lower. Use a heat light to warm the radiator grille, ornament plate and emblem but avoid heating the emblem base and emblem beyond required limits. You should start by removing the hood to radiator grille seal by taking out double-side tape and unfastening all 7 clips. Disassembly of the separate-type radiator grille begins by removing its ornament plate with 12 screws. The radiator grille emblem requires a screwdriver to remove its 4 claws while maintaining Emblem Base intact in case for future reuse. Reassembly begins with heating the radiator grille along with the ornament plate and emblem and proceeds by fixing the radiator grille with the 4 claws connected to the emblem base. The final steps involve positioning the 12 screws to secure the radiator grille ornament plate and afterward inserting new double-side tape for hood to radiator grille attachment through the use of 7 clips. Install the hood by starting with the No. 2 radiator grille lower and then moving up to the No. 1 radiator grille lower before placing the radiator grille at the end.

Next, remove the radiator grille itself.
