[tp85]

i've decided to bite the bullet, and pull the front clip off my 1st gen blazer. i did some searches, but only found pieces of information on how to remove the front clip.

anyone have any complete articles or details on this job?

I just did this 1 month ago so lets see if I can remember everything.
First: Pop the hood and disconnect the wiring harness on the firewall. Remove the washer fluid canister, antenna and anything that is attatched to your fenders. The hood cowl has some screws that have to be removed that you will find along the center section, and then has 2 bolts on either side to take off. To remove the wiper arms, you can either buy the $5 tool to do the job or just use 2 screwdrivers and pop them off.

Now for the fender and hood.

Leave the hood on. There will be 2 upper fender bolts and 1 lower fender bolt. The lower one is under the truck on the inside of the fender. There is also 1 big bolt you will find if you crouch down and look on the outside of your inner fender. This holds it to the frame and will have to be removed. On the drivers side inner fender there are 2 or 3 bolts under the steering column that have to come off. Then there are the rad support bolts, 2 of them to take out. Then you just need a buddy on the other side of it and lift it off

Hope this helps, i was just ramblin there
