Replacing My Front Bowtie.

NotoriousBlazer · #1 08-17-2005, 04:31 PM

If anybody hasn't guessed yet, I'm not very good with taking things apart, but I'm learning

Anyway, topic pretty much says it all, I bought a chrome bowtie to replace the gold one that comes stock on the grille. I would just like to know if it will be hard to make the swap, and how to go about getting the stock one off. Thanks.

Are you sure it is glued on?

It could be bolted on through the grille.

I just tried prying it off with a screw driver, it worked. The new one is a bolt on though, will it still work?

You probably busted off the front plate of the bolt on stock bowtie.

The first gens are bolt on.....so it wouldn't suprise me if you did just bust off the plate.

Ok, if you don't own a Blazer , can you please STOP telling people how to replace parts when you don't even know what you are saying.

Right now because of your advice he might have ruined something.

Stick to your section for advice, and please stop telling people how to fix things when you don't even truly know how to yourself on a Blazer.

Thx.

I see where your coming from BlazerLT, and you're right. Jason is a friend of mine, he is just trying to help.

Anyway, I don't think I ruined anything, I popped it right back in, not sure if it will stay or not, I plan to put this new one in anyway. Where would the bolt be located.

It may vary from model year to model year, but to get the grille off my truck (which I do every year to clean the nest of bugs and leaves that collect against the A/C condensor) there are two bolts inside the grille, center - one above the bowtie, one below. Remove the bolts, and then firmly, but carefully yanking straight out and back, the snap fasteners come loose, popping the grille off. *IF* there is a bolt to hold your bowtie emblem on (I never bothered looking, honestly) it will be right there when you flip the disassembled grille over in your lap.

I understand that, but telling people to do things a certain way when he does even know is not helping, it is HURTING.
