We remove the bumper to replace its parts or to perform body repairs on the front of the car.
Removal
1. Prepare the vehicle for operations (see "Preparing a car for maintenance and repair").
2. With a spanner by 13 mm we unscrew the nut of the decorative bolt of the side fastening of the bumper to the body bracket.
3. Remove the bolt from the hole in the bumper.
4. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the side where the work is being done.
5. In the wheel niche with a key by 22 mm we unscrew the nut of the bolt that secures the bumper bracket to the body bracket, holding the bolt from turning with a socket wrench of the same size. We take out the bolt.
6. We carry out similar work on the other side of the car.
7. To reduce friction of the brackets on the rubber seals when removing the bumper, apply penetrating lubricant or soap solution to the brackets.
8. Remove the bumper pipes from the seals in the body and remove the bumper.
9. With a socket wrench by 13 mm using the extension, unscrew nut A and bolt B securing the bracket.
10. Having removed the decorative screw with a chrome head, we disconnect the bracket from the bumper. Similarly, we remove the bracket from the other side.
11. Unscrew with a key by 8 mm three nuts, remove the chrome bumper trim.
