Default How do I remove the grill assembly to install a tranny cooler?

Got a B&M aux tranny cooler for my 2000 Silverado. Gonna install it tommorrow, but I have never removed the front grill assembly to get to the radiator support bracket. What is involved and where do I start?

There are 4 plastic retainers, one at each corner near the lights. The retainers unclip with a 1/2 turn from a screwdriver. Then the two long center bar edges are held in place with spring clips. Just pull the sides directly forward to remove.
