Re: Front Facia Removal

["David Swingle" <dswingle@xxxx>]

At either side, in the center of the black bumper part where it 
overlaps the fender just toward the front from the marker light, 
there is a stud that is not mentioned in the manual. Sometimes 
there's a nut on it, sometimes not. You have to kind o gently pru 
the facia away from the fender to disengage the studs. 

BTW - if you're really following the manual the hood would be off by 
now (step 5). ;-)

Yes, you have to remove the hood. There are about 10 screws under 
there that you can't get to any other way. No big deal - get two 
friends to hold it and remove the 8 screws at the hinges.

have followed the manual to the letter and it still will not come 
off. Does the hood really need to come off? Any help would be 
appreciated.
