[urq] RE : 1985 Rear bumper : no holes ???

[Brandon Rogers]

yes you can still push it in.  It's been a few years - but here is what I 
remember - I did the threaded shaft version of the bumper mod - as oppposed 
to dumping the fluid - or whatever other ways are out there.  I think I 
threaded pretty much the entire shaft - the bumper shock bolts are behind 
the bumper so you have to squeeze your hand and the wrench up between the 
bumper and rear valence.  PITA - but totally doable.  You've done harder 
things already for sure -
