mvusse Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Behind the corner marker light there are two screws holding the headlight surround to the front of the fender as well as two nuts holding the header panel to it. The top center nut holding the flare and fender liner on also goes through a bracket that's riveted to the inner fender. I'm assuming you found the screws on top under the edge of the hood, the two behinf the door, two underneath rearward of the wheel opening as well as the ones on the bottom front corner. The bumper should be held on to the brackets with two bolts on each side, and the brackets to the frame with three. If you have all six bolts holding the brackets to the frame off, it should come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaquaro Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 6 bolts sounds like OEM tow hook bumper brackets . If so , there are also a diagonal braces that also need to be removed to free the bumper . :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
