Technical Bumpers

[AndrewRL]

A bit of a long story, but a short question....how do you remove the bumper bolts (with round heads)? Preferably without damaging them, the bumpers or fingers.

Thanks all

The bumper bolt have a square section under the head of the bolt which locates/locks into the bumper. Undoing them is a simple job with a spanner to remove the nut on the threaded end of the bolt on the INSIDE of the body (at the front) and rear cross-member at the rear.

The correct Bolts are Coach Bolts which have a square under the head. This goes in a square hole in the Bumper to stop it turning. You just need to get to the Nut the other side unscrew.
If your car is a Giardiniera you will need to remove the Panel across the back of the car.
