I got a HomerTaco grill and need to install it. Any instructions on how to remove the existing grill? Thank you.

Anything that was shiny is now black

I was nervous doing it myself the first time. It's really super easy.

Not at all. Just unbolt and remove the clips and pull straight out

It is not too bad. Have done it once. Just take your time.
May want to have a few spare clips and fasteners on hand just in case you break one in the process of taking it out.

Those are instructions for 12-15. 05-11 is slightly different.
