I just picked up a 72 914 and i am trying to get the engine grill off to straighten and paint. I cant figure out how to get any of the clips off that hold the grill and the emblems on. It seems like im going to have to destroy all these clips to get this assembly appart. Is there a special tool i can pick up for removing these or do i just crush them with some plyers. Hopefull someone out there knows some tricks. Thanks

with regular pliers, just squeeze the keepers in half and again @90*. they will fall off. or spend as long as it takes doing a frustrating task and still ruining the keepers. a few are very hard to get to.

I just used the neddle nose plier method and turned the clips until they lifted a little. Then i just squezed and pulled up and most came off fairly easy. It did sound like i broke some of the clips though. I was able to get the clips up and off without scratching any of the grill shell paint so that was a +. Thanks everyone. |
