How to remove front license plate bracket?

Super easy! Crawl under your truck, carefully unplug the three (3) stoppers on the rubber shield (you'll know what I mean when you see it). Then, with a very long flathead screwdriver (or something similiar), carefully push the tabs out. You can feel them with your fingers first to get an idea of how they work. There are only two tabs. A flashlight will help as it's dark under there. I got mine off in no time.

As it turns out, my plastic bracket was held on by four plastic rivets (they look like the expanding anchors used for putting screws in dry walls). I used a small pin punch and hammered the centers upward and into the rivets. That loosened the rivets and then the bracket could be pulled off with some, but not a lot, of effort. The bracket is reuseable, but I'd need to use something other than the original four plastic rivets.
Thanks, everyone.
Thanks, everyone.
