2014 GMC sierra 1500 front bumper removal

Good day Fellas,

 

just wondering if anyone could help in in explaining how to remove my stock front bumper? is it true I have to remove the grill? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Gotta take the radiator shield off first (the big plastic cover under the hood). The colored cap on the top of the bumper has to come off before the grille. You will have to undo the front fender liners to get to all the screws. There are two brackets and a bunch of retainers that hold it in place. The colored cap is a PITA to take off (the retainers they use). Then you can get to the 4 upper and 4 lower screws and then you can pull the grille (10 clips in addition to the 8 screws). After you do that, there are 6 bolts that hold the bumper. 4 on the frame (two each side) and then one on each end brace.
