Just use constant pressure and support the area on the facia with one hand while pulling at each stud. I did mine and it was easier than I thought it would be. I started with the sides then did the bottom then the top. If I would have known how easy it was to replace my tupperware grille with a real billet grille, I would have done it years ago. Like when I got it new in '99.
