Default Nosepiece alignment

Anybody know the best way to remove the nosepiece in order to shim it? I want to get the left and right spacing to the hood more even. Book Sucks and I just went thru a lot of work just to replace the fog/blinker assy.
Thanks in advance,

My best help would be to locate another c4 and make a note where all the shim locations are. It's one of those jobs that everybody hates ! ! ! ! Take your time and if you've got a friend that you trust not to scatch or drop tools on the car, enlist they're help, it really makes a difference. :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash:

87beast you are in for a treat. If you are going to replace the fog light houseing and not just the light you have to remove the front bumper cover.
