I want to repaint them but getting my fat hands underneath is challenging. Is there an easy way to get these grills off?

Just fold the push on nuts in half with a pair of pliers and get new nuts. Takes seconds. The nuts are more than likely as old as the car. Rusted up inside. The key is not to destroy the pins on the grills. Removing the battery buys you lots of room. Replace the small piece of grill welting while ‘you’re in there’. One of those jobs where project creep sets in.
