[retromk2craig]

There are 4x17mm bolts

Found this pic showing the 2 outer 17mm bolts:

[Gloves88]

If you look under the car they are roughly inline with the front indicator and about a foot back from the front of the bumper

These bolts also hold the front cross-member on so before removing those bolts be sure to support the cross member just underneath the front engine mount.

the inner 2 13mm bolts in that picture will hold the engine up if you take the bumper off, you can just see them hidden behind the white plastic clip in that picture.  This assumes the bolts are still there and not stripped. so you dont have to support the crossmember when removing the bumper if those 2 bolts are in place.

however if you arnt 100% sure about the condition of them, supporting crossmember is a wise precaution to take

Is it still advisble to gently jack up the engine too the release the bumper?

[rubjonny]

no need, but if car is low might be hard to get to the bolts unless you jack it up a bit!
