2.3 Replacing Grille Pins

The grille pins installed on the grille assemblies are fragile and can be easily damaged. Should any of the pins break, you may replace them using the following procedure.

1.Place the grille assembly face-down on a padded surface (a towel or carpeting).

2.Remove the damaged grille pin by pulling it straight out with a small pliers or similar tool. Please refer to figure 2.4. Make sure that the complete pin is removed and that there are no pin fragments left in the mounting hole.

Figure 2.4 - Removal of broken grille pin. Check for pin fragments in the mounting hole.

3. Insert the new grille pin in the grille pin installation tool (see figure 2.5).
