Remove the bumper cover and you'll be able to get it off and save all the clips. I started to do it this way, but gave up and pulled it off. The grille is still in good shape, but I don't have the hardware to remount it (planning on going with a SLP SS grille anyway).

How are you planning on reusing it...painting it body color? I've got a friend with a Ceyenne V6 which she painted the grille body color and it looks great! If you want to put it back on, you'll have to take off the bumper cover anyway, so do it all at one time if possible. Either way, to keep the mounting hardware, and to ensure the grille isn't damaged, I'd pull the whole cover off even if you have to do it twice.
Here's a couple guides:
