front bumper??? dis-mounting

[KevinEVOII]

hey, how do i take off the front bumper. most cars bumpers i have taken off have two corner screws on each side then the center and then two clips in the middle of the two on each side. i am counting on 12 screws/clips so far and the bumper still wont come off?? what am i doing wrong its just a bumper??

 

[JSTYLE]

one on either side (10mm)
two holding the grill bit (10mm)
2 x 14mm (2 either side) under the car, 1/2 ratchet with long extension (goes thru the hole in the radiator support)
PLUS some misc screws for wheel arch plastics etc.

Then the front bar + reo should come off.

i have all of them taken off but it still feels like where the bumpers starts to round around the car it solid and attatched, cause there are those five, torqs screws by the fmic sprayer.

I tried 3 times to remove my bumper before I was able to found out the 4 fckin bolt that hold it.

Remove your passager side headlight and you will see the metal bumper and how it is mount to the car. And you will realize what are those bastard bolt.

hey whats the easy way to take out the lights?

Dude, no offence.
But questions like how to remove a bumper, and how to remove lights are very very basic.
Use your head, have a good think about it, otherwise if your not confident, bring it to someone who is.

Undo the nuts holding them in?

there is no hard way or easy way, just remove the indicators, spring hook, then undo the four nuts holding them in, but that aint gonna help at all with the removal of the bumper, jack it up and crawl under the front, look up at where the bumper reo goes into the chassis rails and you will find the bolts holding it in place.

 

[KevinEVOII]

yes i know all this but the lights wont come out with out bending the bumper, i was wondering if there was away to get them out with out having to do so. thus the removal question? sorry for the dumb questions i would just rather not damage my car in any way possible.

If you have taken out all the bolts, then give it a good yank

 

[Liberoz]

if it still has its oem wheel arch slash guards they will also need disconecting off the frt bar on both L&R sides

JUst tie a rope around the front bumper then tie the other end to somthing like a tree and back away from it the bumper will pop straight off and if that doesnt work first time try again with some speed
