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 2002 Chevy Suburban and it's the same part and similar process on these Suburbans from 2000 to 2006.The items you'll need for this are a new grille from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screw driver, a Phillips screw driver, a 10mm socket and ratchet, and a pair of pliers.
At the top of your grille, you'll see this panel and it's held in with seven clips. To remove these clips, you just pry out the center and pull it up, and then, you just pry out the bottom part. That will pull out and we'll just fast forward as Don does the rest of these. Once those are all removed, you can just lift the panel up and set it aside, and then, just remove this 10mm bolt. Holding the grille in place are these four Philips clips. Then, to remove them, all you do is just turn them a little bit to the left and you'll feel them disconnect, and you can just pull out on the grill and make sure they've disconnected and just repeat this process with all four of them.
Now, pull out on either side of the grille and the grille's free. To remove the badge, just push in the tabs on the other side and the badge will fall off.
Up front, is the old grille; behind it, is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they have all the same mounting points and will fit exactly the same. Push these clips onto your grille. Make sure they're all the way down into place. Push the badge into your new grille. The grille does come with new Philips clips, just twist off the end that goes in the grille and push it into place. You can use the old parts of the other clips or you can remove them by just pushing the tabs on the back and then, you can just push your new one into place. We'll just fast forward as Don pushes those other Philips clips into place.
Line up the pins on your grille and push them back into place and just twist that Philips clip to lock it and then, just repeat the process with the other three. Now, line up the sides and just push it straight back into place. Then, just replace this 10mm bolt at the top of the grille.
Put this top panel back into place and replace those seven clips and just push them in and then, push the center down to lock them into place. Once you've done that, you're all set.
