What happens here

To gain access to the cooling components, the front grille of the car must be removed. Begin by protecting the painted surfaces with yellow painter's tape. Use a drill or impact driver to remove the bolts securing the top of the grille. Then, locate and remove the bolts or screws from the bottom of the grille, often a mix of factory fasteners and aftermarket hardware like self-tappers or deck screws due to previous repairs. Carefully remove the entire grille assembly.

Goal: Remove the front grille to access the cooling system components.

the icy teddy shirt this edge is in danger of being chipped also so i'm just gonna throw some tape on top of here great precision yep so we got these bolts up here and if i remember correctly there's a few down here also that are harder to get to i don't know if you can see them i like how old cars are just so haphazardly put together with nutserts and nuts and bolts and self-tappers and like the freaking screws that hold the headlights in they just look like freaking deck screws that you get at lowe's or something and that's just factory stuff back then is that the same size [Music] i don't either it feels like it might be damn it it barely doesn't fit you're gonna need to use a regular ratchet or a ratchet wrench maybe you should just pop out like that i just didn't want to scratch paint good job
