How to Take off front bumper

[-CRAZY-]

Hi.

last night i found that some1 hit my car while peacefully standing on the parking lot. It left a mark on a car in a shape of a broken bumper, the crack is not big, so i will try fixing it. i used fiber glass before, so it is not big of a deal.

Question is:

How to take of front bumper??

I may answer that when you clean up your grammar errors...











Front bumper is held on by the 3 plastic push retainers under the grill, and 2 bolts on either side where the bumper meets the fenders. You can take the splash shield off the bottom of the bumper too, if you wish. And you could soak the bolts in some kind of penetrant for a while before you take them off.


And this is from a previous existing How-To:
- take off the grill (2 10mm bolts)
- take out the headlights (3 torx t-30 bolts for each headlight) When pulling out unplug all the harnesses.
- Pull out all 8 panel clips under the headlights/grille.
- Jack up the car, and set on stands, take off the wheels, then unbolt the front half of the wheel liner, and move it out of the way.
- Reach in there with a small 1/4 ratchet and 10mm socket with like a 2" entension. there are 2 bolts on the drivers side and 2 on the passenger side to remove the bumper.



Search next time. The bumpers and fenders have already been covered extensively...

And they make stuff for plastic repair, kinda like a 2-part epoxy. They have several different kinds depending on what the bumper is made of exactly. Might want to look into that, will keep the flexibility of the plastic whereas the fiberglass would crack pretty easily.
