Question How do you remove the front bumper?

I need to take off the front plastic bumper. I was hoping it's not that hard....


Thanks for any input!

Look underneath and you will see the bolts holding the bumper cover to the frame. Simply unbolt them and it slides off.

click here and you should be able to get all the info about the Front Bumper, Rear Bumper and Fascia as well as the Fascia support on the front. I got this directly form the service manual that is linked on the main 3rd gen forum in the stickies.

Hope this helps.

Click the link in my signature below, and download the FSM.

The front bumper fascia removal and installation is on pages 3484-3485. You can jump to page 3484 by entering the page number next to the up and down arrows up top.
