Front Air Intake Grille

[wwundt]

To complete the installation of power steering on my '63 Avanti, I need to install the power steering pulley onto the vibration damper. I have removed the fan shroud, drained the coolant, and removed the radiator. I am stumped on how to remove the front air intake grille. I have removed the three phillips screws that secure the top, but the bottom three fasteners are posts that appear to be threaded into the plate along the bottom of the opening. Before I tear something up, anyone removed this grill before that can tell me how to do it?

Thanks,

Warren

Last one I removed had small nuts on the three lower studs (3/8 or 7/16" socket size).....removed those and the upper screws, and the grill was out.

Thanks. It's out now.
