look underneath the grille and you'll see a bunch of small bolts.. they're 10mm I think. about 8 of them across the top and bottom of the bumper.. remove all those.
also along the ends of the cover where it attaches to the front fenders... I dunno where or how to get to those, but I'm sure it's not too difficult.
I removed one in about 10 min (with help) from a wrecked max in a junkyard.

yeah, you're going to have to remove all of that stuff.. it's pretty simple though.
remove the corner lights: there's one screw on the top when you lift the hood, then pull the front edge straight sideways. be careful not to break the ball/socket joint that holds it in. they're very brittle by now because the plastic has aged.
Now you'll see a couple bolts that hold the headlight in.. there are a couple more bolts on the other end of the headlamp.. remove all those, then the headlights are out.
the grille is a PIA to remove simply because the tabs are hard to get to. I use pliers and a screwdriver and just work at them until they come off. It goes back on very easily.. you just line up all the little on the back and push. *click!* and the grille is back in place.
hope that helps.

it's a vauge memory of the headlights, but I think there are two bolts on the inside back piece (right next to the radiator), and 2 more bolts on the outside edge..
remove the corner light and you'll see a couple bolts.. remove those..
now pull on the light and figure out where it's hanging up.. remove those bolts..
just do it systematically, and you'll find everything you need.
