Rear Bumper Removal


Recommended Posts

Is there an easier way to do it. When i try to remove the upper panel i busted all the tabs off. Am i going to be able to put this back without replaceing the tabs.

 

If you go into the storage area in the hatch and remove the four rubber plugs on each side, there will be four 14 or 17mm bolts under those plugs, remove those and slide your bumper off.

1 - Remove both fans.

 

2 - Air ratchet, and 6 inch extension with 6 sided socket NOT 12 sided as they tend to round off nuts/bolts.

Or remove the radiator completely, along with the engine fan.

 

Hand socket with extension will then do the trick, no matter what sided socket you have, but better with the 6 sided.
