How do I remove the front bumper??
Some old guy reversed into me a few weeks back & although there's not much damage to bumper, it has popped off at one end & I can't simply puch it back in.
I figured if I took the whole thing off then I could figure out how to get the end to go back in.
Thanks.

the only hard part is the bolts inside the bumper. Best way to get to those without a lot of work
is to turn a wheel inside, pull the wheel liner back and wedge your arm in there (helps to have an extension) and if my memory serves me correct, I think there are 3 or 4 10mm bolts on each side of the bumper where it bolts to the inside of the fender. It has been forever and a day since I have messed with an OEM bumper, but for some reason I *think* you might have to pull the lower center air dam out and there are 2 larger bolts that go through the bumper beam. Then pick off all of the obvious screws and you are golden.

I dunno, it seems to me to be easier to leave the headlights in and avoid dropping a screw
on the back side and have to fish it out. But I only took my bumper off maybe 10 or 15 times.
