Rear bumper removal?
« on: 23 February 2009, 09:23 »
Hey guys, had a search and nothing came up :huh:

But anyway, where are the bolts for removing the rear bumper? Hopefully be able to do mine tonight if its not too much of a lengthy process!

Any pics/helps most appreciated.

Easy, open tailgate and you will see 4 covers pop them off and remove the bolts then look underneath and you will see 3 more bolts so 7 in total then the bumper slides off.

Will be miles easier for you to jack the car up or put it on ramps. When I took mine off it was easier on ramps, yours is lowered too.

I just found it easier to get right underneath it. Meh, I had it up cause of the exhaust anyway. I found the bolts easier with a torch.

Cheers bud, I'll pm you if I have any problems later on :) Not going to do the front bumper just yet :smiley:

Will be easier to just reverse it up onto some wood blocks or something :grin: Jacking it up takes about half an hour :rolleyes:

It's weird, I can't get the GL up that easily cause it sits low, even a trolly jack won't go under in some places, ramps you have to put the car on blocks then the ramp, and yet there is loads of arch gap.  :huh:
