Chris,

I have... It's fairly simple... only 2 hex bolts... (you may have to buy a 
large, metric hex wrench, because I dont think it is a common size)... 
but once you unscrew them the bumper slides out fairly easily... It's getting 
it back on that is a pain... (usually requires at least 2 people to line 
everything up...)
