However, the instructions were kinda vague on the grill removal.

This is the only step it has lol And the "special tool" is just a wedge.

I know it's just held in by clips but I don't want to break them. Trying to figure out where I would be prying at. I have trim removal tools I could use for it.

Yeah some clarification would be nice. I always assumed they had to come off from the back with the bumper cover removed.

I pulled one off and that would be the best way. One clip broke (nothing major though, still holds fine the way they are designed) because the grill isn't entirely open you can't reach some of the clips with your fingers like you can the open part. With the bumper removed you can easily pop them out. They also pop in very easily. I wouldn't recommend taking them out unless the bumper is off.
