There should be 6 screws then the 3 clips, 4 across the top and one above the bow tie and one under it

The grilel comes off with 5 7mm bolts (4 on top and one above the bowtie) and then the lower part of the grille slides into some clips that lock it in place...

ok thanks Scott, did you use a wrench or Socket?

 

[95C1500]

I used a socket. On mine, 2 of the 4 on top were recesses into the plastic. so I used a 1/4" drive ratchet, 1/4" extension and a 7mm 1/4" socket

well looks like ill be spending more money

It was a close fit even with the extension, so I steped up to a 3/8" ratchet and extension to a 7mm 3/8" socket... It sure got the job done.
