    When I removed the grille itself from the body colored shroud I accidently broke a tab off the old grille, so I just snapped the rest of them off with pliers lol. Hard enough to sell a perfect grille, not worth the hassle to sell one with damage IMO.

    Usually how I get mine off is by holding the two arms on the top, where the bolts go, unhooking from the little white nipples, then kinda tweaking forwards on the left arm and backwards on the right arm, then vice versa, the goal being to tweak. It wiggles each side out a little at a time. In your minds eye, you're trying to work the bottom out while manipulating the top.

    Are you talking about Andrew Cuomos daily doings, or removing a grille?
