I have a 2001.5 and I am trying to do the timing belt replacement today along with the APR snub mount.

Can anyone give me a heads up on how to remove the front bumper. I have removed the two 6 mm hex bolts.

I see there are three other bolts in the fender well. Do I have to remove these to take the bumber off.

Thanks,

Mike

it should be in the tech section, or at least a section in one of the tech articles

Took me like 30-45 min the first time...now it takes all but 3 min.

There are 2 long bolts on behind the side grilles. I think its an allen or maybe a star wrench that you will need to them them out. There is 1 on each side. You will have to take out the side grills to get to them.

Then you will unclip the wheel liner that is connected to the bumper. And i believe thats all you have to take off.

Then you are going to take the side of the bumper, right be the wheel, and push towards the wheel then pull out away from the car and towards you. It will be frustrading and hard, so just keep at it.

Just take a look at the tech session for some pictures and more explination too.
