02-03 OEM grille removal

So I tried removing my stock grille thinking it would be simple. I was wrong. Is there any kind of write up on removing it or could someone explain to me exactly how to do it? I found those four tabs on the top and then three nuts on the back...I could only get one of them to come off though. Thanks...

I would suggest keep trying. Mine popped out once I get the screws out.

Exactly, 3 nuts come off, then pull forward, should pop right off.

Sounds pretty simple. I guess I will just go ahead and give it another shot, thanks.
