I just bought a new grille for my 72 SS. Im new at this an was wondering, do you have to remove the front bumper to replace the grille or can u just manuver it in?Thanks

bumper needs to come off or you might scratch the paint on the bottom of the grill

Just lossen the frame bracket bolts enough to gently lower bumper out of way enough to "slide" grille in place.Worked for me!

I'm surprised it's different than my '71. I can remove/install my grille CAREFULLY without moving the bumper.
