Re: Confused on re-assembly of grille

I'm thinking that they usually have a 7/16 head on them. Reaching those spots is and exercise in dexterity.
Thanks. I'm going to have a few more questions on front end assembly given that it was already disassembled when I acquired it.

I currently have the inner fenders mounted, the radiator support (and radiator in place), and just mounted the part that I inquired about at the top of this thread.

I need to install the fender support brackets that appear to be mounted on the sides of the radiator support/inner fenders.
