Default Anyone have instructions/diagrams of how to remove the front bumper?

I'm going to install a custom power steering cooler so my car stops blowing up at the track and I need to remove the bumper to get to the cooling lines. Thanks a lot. I'll post pics when Im through in a few days.

Default Here you go....

First, lie under the car and remove the belly tray. Then, remove the two fog light grills by grabbing hte middle spar and pulling out. Once removed, on the bottom side of the bumber, are two large allen bolts. Remove the bolts and then you go to one side of the bumber edge (wheel well) and pull out on the top of the bumper with both hands. It is a real bitch, but it does come off with tons of pull). It will eventually pop free. Now do the same on the other side.

You will need to disconnect the washer fluid line to the headlight washers and the fog light wires. Do not forget to reconnect these upon putting it all back together. To re-install, reverse directions.

Question, though, your power sterring pump or rack keeps failing? That is really strange.

Default the high pressure line exploded when it overheated

and b/c all of the events that I do are in the summer I dont want to go through the hassle of trailing my car home to get it fixed. The whole mod will only cost 35 dollars as well, and thats worth the peace of mind that I will have that the steering wont fail again.
