You need to ideally remove the whole front panel (along with the 'hockey sticks'), then gain access to the rear nuts to remove the grille and chrome surround. Be wary, that the grille surround and hockey sticks is held by thin studs, which are prone to snapping, so give them a good soak with penetration oil before attempting to undo the nuts.

You may be able to remove just the grille by removing the radiator first...

Unfortunately, that won't help you very much. You still really need to remove the front panel completely :-?
There are ways around it but not without butchering something.
