There are two types of billet grilles, bolt over and cutout. Which are you considering? Are you just looking to take the grill off the truck for installation, or how to remove the honeycomb center? I have experience with the gmc grill, but not the chevy. They should be similar. You need to turn four phillips head screws (plastic) about a 1/4 turn and take one metric bolt out (top center of grill). A clip snaps each side of the grill into a slot in the front of each fender. I have used a pneumatic cutoff wheel to cut the material out of the grill necessary for the cutout application. Hope this helps.
