Push in the bottom part of the grill...it's held onto the bumper with clamps. You can use a decent amount of force...u won't break anything. Once you push the bottom part back and un clip it...just pull the grill straight up. Some people have unscrewed the T-Bar behind the grill and removed the black plastic covers to the side of the grill...but I didn't do either when I changed my grill.
Push in and pull up.
Push in and pull up.

Not having any luck at all. Im confused as to what you do once you'v removed the small nib at the top. I dont know how to get at the Tbar. Ive tried pushing in the front bottom of the grill but everything is flexing way too much and I dont want to brake anything.

The very bottom chrome strip is held in with tabs...just push in...it will flex but won't break. You don't have to do anything with the t-bar
