Front Clip Removal

I searched but couldn't find and write ups on how to remove the entire front clip, or grill and light assembly on here. Does anyone know of one or how to do it? Thanks!

The Previous owner of my jeep liked to replace random screws, so use this as a general guide as I can't guarantee the scew/bolt count will match. This is for a 96 and earlier nose, haven't taken a 97+ nose apart.

Remove the Outer running lights. *2 phillips*
Remove the Headlight bezel *2 bolts/screws behind the running light*
Remove the 2 nuts behind the bezel.

Open the hood, find the 4 nuts in the center and remove them. They will be vertical, there is no need to remove the torq screws that hold the bracket to the core support.

Remove the whole nose as one peice, take care to unplug the headlights and other set of turn/marker lights.
