I'm not gonna look at the link, but make sure you have some pliers :)

[99GrandAMSE]

... if the clips have never been out, pliers are a good idea :)

:agree: sometimes even if they have been out.

If it hasn't already been piped in, for God's sake be careful of the black circular retainer cups aroun dthe headlight unit.

I broke one and it cost me far more than a little black piece of plastic is worth.

They wanted 18 at my dealership if I remember right. I told them to screw off and went to another dealership and got it for 12.

I used a screw driver to get mine out :)

oh, and even after reading the warning about the black peice, and being (at least what i thought) careful with it, I still broke the damn thing.. i mean.. it takes nothing! but, screw paying money, I just duck taped it, held it fine *shrugs*

hahah I love the repair manual, a woman with long finger nails is taking out those long sliper clips with her hands! ha, i had to ream on them foever just to get them out the first time, I was so pissed ;)

[bdlitzne]

Yup, I did the same thing...used duct tape. Red Green would have been proud. And I saved 11 dollars for the part and 48 dollars in gasoline if I went and got it....
