Once the bumper is off you can remove the chrome trim, 4 phillips screws on eather side of the fender, snake the HL wiper hose out of the Black channel @ that point you will see a bunch of 10mm nuts.... if you loosen the ones that attach to the HL wiper brackets you can pull the trim off complete. Remove the alt cooling tube, > Drain the coolant & remove the top, bottom & rez coolant hoses.> remove the oil cooler from under the rad & let it hang, remove the trans cooler lines & tie them up out of the way, remove the 4 AC condensor bolts & let the condensor hang, remove the rad fan & put it to the side.> There will be 4 bolts that hold the front rad support to the frame rails, 4 phillips screws on eather side of the tops of the fenders, & 2 bolts holding the fenders to the HL supports. > Then just pull the entire front off.....
