Today I tried to remove the rear bumper and first the bolts on the drivers side.
They were a bit of a pig to get at as they were recessed into some box section. When I did eventually find them they were massively tight. They started moving and suddenly both went slack.
Gutted, the captive nuts have broke free.
I have no idea what to do now to get the bumper off.
The way I see it, my best option is to try and get my power file into the holes and grind the heads off the bolts.
Hopefuly then I should be able to drift the headless bolts and captive nuts upwards to free up the bumper irons.
The trouble is, I dont know if there is sufficient room above the iron for the remainder of the bolt to go upwards.
What I dont reall want to have to do is cut into the bodywok with a grinder just to free up the bumper.
Any advice?
