Описание: Below are the instructions I used and a link to the website which has additional disassembly instructions.

Removing the front clip as one piece:
• I suggest taking the entire front end off as one piece if you can. Again, pre-soak all the nuts and bolts for as long as you can before you go on. This way, when you dis-assemble the parts from the clip it can be turned upside down to allow better access to hidden bolts.
• Remove the hood and put the bolts back in the hood. Leave the hinges for now.
• Remove the radiator (don't forget the transmission cooler lines if you have an automatic), heater hose hold down clips, battery, battery cables, and battery tray.
• Unbolt the emergency brake cable bracket located on the drivers side inner fender.
• Also, use caution while dis-assembling because most of the hidden bolts use clip nuts and these will break and allow the bolt to spin. Not good because you’ll have to figure a way to cut them off without damaging the sheet metal. Take your time and think about what you want to do if this happens.
• There are two hidden fender bolts. One is directly below the bottom of the door front seam. It bolts the bottom of the fender to the cab. The other is inside the cab on the kick panels up close to the dash. Same deal. There is an access hole in the kick panel to reach it.
• There is a “L” shaped clip bolted to the back hole on the inner fender and to the firewall. I suggest leaving the clip on the firewall and unbolt the fender from it.
• There is a rubber strap holding the bottom of the inner fender to the firewall on both sides that need to be removed.
• Make sure the wiring harness to the headlight/ turn signals, and the wires to the horn and starter solenoid are disconnected.
• Remove the two large bolts holding the core support to the frame.
• Lift the entire assembly up to clear the wheels and shock towers and walk it forward to the front of the truck. You’ll need at least two people.
• Disassemble the rest of the pieces from the front clip.
