I had to remove my bumper to get the grill out of mine but that could be because my bumper is bent a little bit.

Remove the eyebrows first then remove the grill. Sometimes the grill will tuck behind the eyebow molding.

Here you can see how it overlaps in the picture.

My mistake yeah I see how they would overlap.how in the heck do you remove the eyebrows.to get to the nuts

You need to reach into the fender and you need either a deep socket or an open end wrench but it's pretty tricky but you can do it for the eyebrows. The grill and the top top bar will come out in one piece

I just changed out my eyebrows a couple of weeks ago. Get a deep socket, a long wobble extension and a ratchet and you should be good. I think the socket is a 7/16". The eyebrows are held on by speed nuts, just like the ones that are on the emblems on your truck.

Do you have to loosen the inner fender? To get your hand in there.
