W00T Bumper De-Virginized!
Damn...What a PITA! After getting my car back from a collision repair center for replacement of headlights and very minor fender damage, my passenger side bumper was sticking out a cm or two and not nearly flush to the fender.
I took my ballz out today and pryed the thing off using the tech notes. Forget what APR has to tell you about removing the bumper. At least for me that is. Using a sturdy screwdriver to get the first top clip off and then a narrow extension driver to reach to the back clip did the trick. Once the two top clips are removed you lift and pull the bottom part of the fender out.
Passenger side took a little over 1 hour to figure out. The driver side took 5 minutes. For a noobie thats pretty good. I think I'll be down to 20 minutes for the entire bumper next time I do it for the snub mount if bumper removal is really necessary.
I'll keep you updated a little later on after I straighten out whatever needs to be straighted out on the jaw and assembly underneath the bumper.
