Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the grille on this 1996 Chevy Tahoe. It's the same part and process on these Tahoes from '95 to 2000. The items you'll need for this are a new grille from 1AAuto.com, Phillips screwdriver, 7mm and 13mm socket and ratchet with an extension, and flat blade screwdriver.
You want to first remove these four Phillips screws. We'll just fast forward as Don does this. Pull the light out and twist these sockets counterclockwise and pull them out. Then you want to twist this socket out of your side marker light. Then repeat the process on the other side.
Next, you want to remove this series of 7mm bolts. We'll just fast forward as Don does this. There's one more 7mm bolt right here. Once those are removed, you want to just lift up this tab and pull the grille forward and there's another one on the other side. There's another clip right in the center, using a stick or a long screwdriver, you just want to push that tab and then pull out on that center tab. Just to give you a better look at it, it's this tab right here.
Up top, is the old grille; below it, are the two from 1A Auto. In the middle is an exact replacement of the old grille and on the bottom is an all chrome version, which we'll be installing on this truck, but first we have to swap over all the stuff from the old grille. You just want to remove these ten 13mm nuts. We'll just fast forward as Don does this. You also want to swap over these clips and there are eight of them in total, four on one side, and four on the other. To remove them, all you do is push in those four triangular pieces, and it just pops out and if gives you any trouble, you can use a flat blade screwdriver to help push it through. We'll fast forward as Don takes the new grille and starts attaching those side marker reflectors and the side marker lights and replacing those 13mm nuts. For the badge, just push it into the center and, just like with the lights, replace those two 13mm nuts. Now, take those eight clips and just push them into place.
Once those are in place, take your grille and pull your parking light sockets through. Then, you want to line up the tabs on the grille, and the first one you want to do is the center one and just push down that tab and push the tab on the grille into place until it locks. Now, line up those side ones and push those into place. We'll just fast forward here as Don replaces those five 7mm bolts. There's four along the top of the grille and then that one in the center just above the badge.
Now, twist your side marker light back into place and then twist your two parking light sockets back into place, just turning them clockwise to lock them. Then push the assembly into place and replace those four Phillips screws. Just repeat the process on the other side.
