how to take off the bowtie in grill??

how do you take off the bowtie in the grill? i haven't tried yet, but i am gonna take it off and paint it or replace it soon.

On the older trucks (88-98) you had to take out the grille and then there were 2 screws that held the bowtie in place.

how hard is it to remove the grill? i would think it would be easy but i have never tried.

My '01 had 7 plastic clips on the radiator cover, remove the cover, 1-10mm bolt right of the hood latch, 4-phillips head screws at the corner of the lights and grills, and pull the clips out of the ends next to the fender. Now that the grille is off you pinch the plastic tabs in the center of the grille carefully and the bowtie will fall out..... Now put it together backwards. 1/2 hour at most when you have to stop and keep sampling the brew to keep cool. :uhoh:

it unclips off the grill from the back. it has 2 clips on the sides. i took the grill off which is also very easy to do. 4 phillips clips and 1 10 mm bolt and it came off.
