It was quite difficult. You will figure out how the tabs work, they're long, and they're made into the grill, so breaking one wont be a real bad thing, however its less desired if you plan to sell it. If you have a heat gun it will make things easier. Hold it over the tabs about 10"s for 10 seconds, and bend them to the side while pulling the surround off ( surround end facing ground on a blanket ) and you will pull that clip off the grill, then just move onto the other 13 clips. And do the top very last. Makes things easier, but the top upper left and upper right are a real PITA. Thats what took the longest for me ( 4 mins each ).
