ok i was in a little collision today and i ordered a new bumper from american muscle. i need to know how to take off the bumper. thanks

[mustangmatt123]

nobody knows. i seriously doubt that. it seems easy. theres just two bolts at the very top that i have no clue how to take off.

There is a few in the wheel well and then you have to take the headlight mount thing out. The bumper has lock tabs wedged in between the two. You can tug and pull on it like a boss and it will just hang in there.

Taking stuff off is the easy part, finding all the parts and putting them in the right spot is the hard part...

Good luck.

it takes a little time first there are two screws i think on each wheel well, then you have to get under the car and youll see there are two bolts that hold the bumper to the fender... youll find these on both sides and there kind of a PITA to take off. After those are off there are two other bolts under the car that are bolted to the radiator support... then there are just two i think under the hood and that should be it... but i never had to take the headlight panel off

I hope ive helped you out...

wedge a pry bar or screwdriver behind the headlight panel where the bumper clips on. it will free it up for you and the cover will slide off once u have all the bolts and screws off. there shouldnt be many and it isnt too hard. its easiest if u take the headlights out.

1. Drill out the two rivets in the center section of the bumper.

2. remove headlights.

3. remove corner lights.

4. remove retaining screws from wheel wells.

5. remove two nuts on side retaining bracket. ( That's the one everyone is talking about in the fender.) It's alot easier with the corner lights out.

6. lift up on the three retaining tabs under the headlights and pull the bumper off the car.

That's really all there is too it. You will need to remove the two side brackets from your old bumper and install them on your new one.
