Default grill removal 98 tracker?

I ordered a 2" body lift from rocky road and the first thing I have to do is remove front grill and head light housing. sounds simple enough, after 2 hrs of stairing at the grill I found 1 screw in the middle top of the grill. there must be some hidden clips or something cuz it feels loose but I don't want break this delicate piece of plastic. Can anybody tell me (in detail, the instructions on every web page I can find says "REMOVE GRILL) how to remove the grill w/o breaking anything?
thanks Wayne

OK so I got the grill off. Mine has the same clips that are used to hold a door panel on with. They just pry out w' a door tool. as per the detailed instructions from zuki-nation I have to remove the bumpers. the 2 lower bolts broke right off! so I thought I'd try the back bumper. started to remove outer plastic cover whe I noticed the rear body mount right in front of me. I could not see why I had to remove either bumper after removing the headlight housing the front body mount was easily accessable. So I thought what the h*** lets start removing the body mount bolts, I could see all 4 on each side. So I soaked them with penetrating oil and found the correct socket attached to my brand new 24" breaker bar and said wait a minute lets make sure the extension bolts that came from rocky-road are the right diameter and thread. I tried one on the 3rd body mount only to find they are TOO FREAKIN" SMALL they don't fit my 98 tracker which according to their web page will fit thru 98 tracker. So I just spent my sunday evening learning how to remove the front grill on a 98 Tracker. I've read dozens of threads about guys who have installed body lift kits, suspension lift kits and they all claim it was EASY, Kinda like when a women has a baby she says it was a beautiful experience. I geuss if you think pushing a watermelon thru your nostril is a beautiful experience then I geuss it's all relative!
