2018 Ford Explorer Front Bumper Removal and Grille Replacement / Install

This is a short video showing how to replace the grille on a 2018 Ford Explorer. There are a few videos around that show how to remove the front bumper for other years, but none show the grille removal or the differences for the bumper on a 2018. The 2018 has 6 extra bolts (3 each side) that are up inside the front quarter panels and can only be accessed from the wheel wells. They are pretty much blind and a real pain to remove. Take your time and it can be done with a 10m socket wrench. The rest is pretty straight forward…just a ton of small fasteners and bolts. The grille is held on with many plastic tabs that must all be aligned. Be careful when dropping the bumper, there is a wiring harness attached to it. The job took me 3 hours.
