Re: Removing front bumper?

it will take you about 20 mins to take off on your own plus you need 3 different screwdrivers 1 cross head and 2 stars drive ones...

Re: Removing front bumper?

Look, if the only reason to take your bumper out is the lower grill, then you don't have to.To fit the lower one correct you have to remove first the top one.Then by pressing with your one hand from inside you can keep the bumper steady so with your other hand you are able to press the grill hard in it's position.I don't know if you have already tryed that.I hope i helped.

Re: Removing front bumper?

or you can fabricate a 'special tool' to hold the bumper while pushing the grille in

Re: Removing front bumper?

You meen something like...
asking a friend to tow your car while you put it in reverse and at the same time you push the grill in?
