I want to remove my grill but I am having a hard time getting the skrews/pins off. I don't want to break the skrews, I just want to unskrew them. They just keep spinning in place and won't come out. What am I doing wrong?

You mean those 4 plastic screws across the top? You can't push down on them at all while turning with a screwdriver, the thread is very wimpy on them. It might help to shove a tiny flat blade screwdriver "under" the screw as you're turning it, Lift on the flat blade while turning

Well, I got off 3 of the 4. The last one is stubborn. I tried useing a flat headunder the skrew but still I got nowhere. Can I just rip it straight out? Will this hurt anything?

i used a flat head and a needle nose and stuck it under there and jsut squeezed and pulled it out

I used two flat tip screw drivers. I put one underneath the main portion of the push pin and applied pressure with it and unscrewed with the other one.

Thanks guys. I got off that part. Now i need to get the 4 ones from the bottom. Turns out I don't have a 1/4 inch wrench, of course. Im afraid to bend the grill back to far. I don't want to hurt the front bumber. Any suggestions on this part on getting the other shrews off??

If youve got a few out already then you can see how the things look "underneath" So what you can do is take a long screwdriver & reach to the underside of the screw through the grill. Push up with that screwdriver while turing the screw. Yeah those screws are a b!tch [:@] friggen Ford cheapskate screws
