How in the good lords name do you remove the grill?
I cant figure this out for the life of me. Im changing my radiator and its really annoying. I ripped my headlights out breaking all the tabs. I'm fighting my way though this but I cant get to the lower radiator hose clamp and Im not sure how to get that fitting off in the middle of the rad either, I'm guessing its some sort of cooler but I dont have a wrench that big.
blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
How do I remove this grill? I thought if I got the chrome part off I could see more bolts but i cant even get that off.
thanks in advance
Its snowing in NY and my Jeep is peeing all over

I believe there are 6 screws, maybe only 4, I can't remember, but there are 2 in the front of the grille you have to get that are difficult to see if you aren't looking for them.

your question is difficult to understand..are you removing the grill....3 screws and that is it.....or are you removing the radiator which will require you to remove the fan sroud and that alone is a pita. I am sorry it is cold and you have to work on it...but keep in mind...the more you break trying to get to the part...the more you need to fix. I suggest a Haynes Manual.

The grill has 3 or 4 screws depending on what year you have. Or are you talking about the header panel?

No reason to remove headlights, radiator comes straight up and out the top.

I only see two with a philips screw driver, I want to take the grill off to get at the ac condensor. I managed getting everything off besides the hoses, tranny/power steering line fitting, and the fan shroud... its loose and I wrestled with it but oh dear...
i'll take pics once I warm up

There should be another screw in the middle.

Look straight at the grille. There might be a screw in each of the top corners. Not on the chrome part, but in the 2 outside cutouts.

Remove the plastic shield (held by 2 plastic push rivets on each side...simple) below the radiator (get under the Jeep) for easy access to the lower hose.
4 screws to remove the grill (4 red circles in the pix).
Yes, it's snowing on LI and I just went out to take this picture
You'll have a PM in a matter of minutes.
