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.
January 17, 200917 yr Soak those 17mm bolt threads with PB blaster first. Also, if I remember right, there are two smaller bolts - one on both bottom sides of the bumper going into the body sheet metal.

July 28, 201411 yr What about tricks do removing the front bumpers? On AC equipped Loyales the steel lines get in the way and make it a pain in the rump roast to remove those 14mm bolts. Any hints to make it less shitty?
July 28, 201411 yr 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.
July 28, 201411 yr Thanks. I definitely don't have those tools. I think I used a small so let wrench and universal joint. I pays to have the right tools
July 28, 201411 yr The rear bumper on wagons should also have 2 10mm bolts underneath the sides, on the sedan, there should be 2 bolts sideways below the tail lights.

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.
July 28, 201411 yr or just rip out the AC who needs AC LOL and a 14mm gear wrench works the best o ya and pull your battery
July 28, 201411 yr I had the same issue, I have a nonfunctional AC but Im not removing it because I want to keep it and use it later. I used a 6" extension and a cheater pipe on my 1/4" wrench Edited July 28, 201411 yr by AWD J3wman
