Need link for 02-03 grill removal

I removed the 3 nuts behind the grill but it doesn't seem to be coming out very easy. Am I missing something?

You need to pull firmly on it. It will come out. Same thing happened to me the first time I did it.
I thought I would break it, but it will come out with a firm pull.

Which 3 nuts have you removed? When I took mine out there were 4, 2 on each corner.

There are only 3...one in the middle by the hood latch and one near each upper corner. After that there are a few pull clips which will pop out with a firm pull.

I removed the top 3 screws and pulled on the two tabs, located on the bottom of the grill. If you look down you can see them. Pull them up towards you and push out till you feel the clips move over the lip. then pull it out.
