4 bolts to the frame, 4 small bolts /nuts to the fascia, maybe some lower rad. shroud bolts/clips, then it drops right out (need to support the rad). Not bad at all.

Yeah, and the one I recieved had some type of coating, almost like aluminized piping that had to be sanded off before paint would adhere to it.
