302S Grill Replacement Question..
Grill should be here this week...just for info..I looked at the installation instructions for a Roush grill to try and find out what I'm up against.
THEIR instructions say that the whole front fascia had to be removed to get the grill out..Is this accurate?
Never had mine out so I'm wondering how hard this will be..
Thanks for your time to reply.

You don't have to remove the front clip. It's an easy process and takes about 10 minutes or less after you've done it once. Here's a how-to:

You don't have to remove any bolts, and you can look at the back of the S grill to see all the tabs. You just have to monkey with it, getting all the tabs out one by one without them falling back in.

Use a long screwdriver and pull while pushing on the tabs. There are two tabs on either side. They are in pretty tight but I doubt you'll break anything since it's made of ABS plastic.

It's a bit early for Beer Thirty but that might help.

Keep constant pulling pressure on it. Work your way from one side to the other. You don't have your location listed, maybe someone in your 'hood could help you.

While it may have taken me a little longer than 10 minutes, it ended up being easier than I thought. I almost solicited another set of hands to pull while I was pushing, but I ended up doing it by myself.
Good luck!

I'm hoping not to have to practice this anymore with the air-to-oil cooler, but with temps projected around 90 next weekend I'll find out soon!
