Pulling front end apart....
So what are the steps to getting the two plastic headlight bezels removed? The prior owner goofed a few things up and I need to fix them. But I need the two plastic bezels off to fix the stuff. Any help would be great.

You have to reach in behind the front fenders to get at the nut on 2 carrage bolts (7/16 I believe). Also remove outermost headlights and buckets to help reach them so the bolts do not turn.

Be sure and soak the nuts/bolts with Kroil or some other good penetrating oil if they are rusted. The carriage bolt tends to turn on you if they are rusted.

Hmm, this will be interesting... The prior owner put the chrome bezels in the wrong spots so I have bezels upside down and all messed up. Wish me luck.

You will probably need to remove the inside headlights and buckes too. There are 2 horizontal carriage bolts there as well. Nuts are tough as they are inside the grille as I recall

You will end up pulling the front bumper off the car, its a lot easier.
