Default On the suggestion of others that have replaced their grill, I ordered a new
set of rings from Clair Parts. The clips are built right into the rings.

Default Carefully.....>>
Work around the perimeter with a flat blade like a paint scraper looking for the tabs... Just be careful and they'll pop off....

I used a wide putty knife with a sharp leading edge and worked my way around from clip to clip. Loosen progressively as you go around.

Default Where'd your adventurous spirit go???
It's not hard, But the old stocker does look better on the garage wall with the rings I s'pose!

Default Steve and Bob - think "normal' people... we break things just thinking about them.
I tried to do this, VERY carefully, and ended up buying new. :-(
