straight up and out of grille.
7.
Using a pair of pliers, remove the 4 large push-pins located on the outer edge of the grille. See the
circled push-pins in picture 5. See picture 6 for a close up view.
8.
Unplug the 2 electrical connectors located near the hood latch.

Remove the 2 – 8mm bolts that hold on the bottom part of the grille. One is located on each side.
See Picture 7.
10.
Remove the 6 push-pins that hold the rubber insulation/ shield to the grille. There are 3 push-pins
on each side. See picture 8. These push-pins are ribbed so they will be tougher to remove than the
others.
11.
Now that you have removed all of the hardware holding the grille/ active shutters to the truck, you
can carefully lift the grille UP and OFF the truck. If you get any significant resistance, check to
make sure all hardware has been removed in steps 1 through 9.
12.
Make sure you have a soft, flat surface to place the grille on such as a large piece of cardboard or
towel. Place the grille face down on said surface. Be careful to prevent scratches.
13.
Using a 10mm deep well socket, remove the three nuts on the bottom of the grille/ active shutters.
Be very careful as these nuts are attached to plastic studs. See picture 9 below.
14.
Remove the 8mm screw in the center of the grille. It sits directly behind the Ford emblem. See
picture 10 below for arrow pointing to the location of the screw.
15.
There are 4 – 10mm nuts that need to be removed at each corner of the grille (see the circled areas
in picture 10 below). These nuts attach to bolts/ u-clips that are attached to the grille. During
removal you may find that using a finger to hold the u-clips will help you remove the nuts more
easily.
16.
Now, lift the active shutter assembly off of the grille carefully and sit it off to the side.
Remove the 2 – 8mm bolts on each
bottom corner of the grille.
Remove the 6 push-pins holding
