These are the tools I used, 3/16 Allen wrench, Gerber Multi-tool, putty knife, small flat head screwdriver, and a philips head screwdriver #2 (not shown, was in my hand lol)





Now pull out 4 of those pesky fasteners from the radiator cover thing.



I pulled an additional fastener that holds the washer fluid for ease, but wasn't necessary.




Now your able to pull the cover out of the engine bay, and should look like this.



Now you need to remove two Allen screws out with a 3/16 that are under the cover you just pulled out.



Then a Philips head screws from the inner fender on the left and right side. Two total.



Now go under the vehicle and remove 8 fasteners (6 shown), and yes two of them were a pain in the butt.




Now start on either side of the car and start pulling the bumper away from the car. If you haven't removed all the fastners, and screws your not going to win and risk scratching your bumper when the thing gets hung up. I was moderately forceful, and didn't break anything, loose anything, scratch, chip, or even cuss. I worked from the left to right using my leg as a brace for the bumper.



Enjoy!!

Please forgive me for resurrecting an old thread.
Are there issues with taking the bumper off and it not going back together
as tight as before removing it?
