[s-cars] front bumper cover removal

[mlp qwest]

With, or without the bumper support?

To remove the cover WITH the aluminum inner "bumper" support still in it, if
I recall correctly,

1.  It can probably be done without, but I would suggest you jack the front
end of the car up far enough, and put it on jack stands so that you can
easily access & remove the "sound control" under tray, if it is still on
your car.

2.  remove the three (3) front snap in lower bumper shroud grills;

3.  From under the bumper, @ 18" or so to either side of the center of the
car, at where the two 5mph piston/rams hold the bumper to the front of the
car, you should find two holes through which you can access the longish (@
2" or so) Allen head bolts that hold the bumper assembly to the chassis;

4.  You will need a 6mm Allen wrench or drive with at least 3" or so inches
of shaft to reach the above bolts.  Undo and remove the bolts;

5.  Go around the front fender wells & undo the plastic "arrow" nut/bolts
that tie the bumper cover to the wheel well liners;

6.  Pop the corner clips free and pull the bumper cover & aluminum support
back off the front of the car.

Removal of the cover from the aluminum support once both are off the car is
another matter.
