Help, cant get my bumper off

[Welsh g60 0]

I've got a 1991 g60 which I bought with light front end damage. I got a secondhand bumper with lights and bumper bar attatched off ebay but I cant work out how to get the old one off without dismanteling a sizable portion of my car. Can anyone help me ( I'd like to put the new one on compleate with the bumper bar as the old 1 is bent). Feel free to laugh and mock as I realise it's a bit lame not to be able to take a bumper off but any help would be much appriciated.

Jack up the front of the car, underneith you'll see the bar that the radiator sits on. At either end of that bar is a plate with 3 bolts going through it.

 

Undo the outer 2 bolts on each side - DO NOT undo the center bolt else the engine will drop on you! :shock:

 

The bumper will now just pull forwards and off the car once you've undone the wiring for the fogs and indicators... 8)

 

I was about to move this question to common questions from the servicing section you put it in first time, but you deleted it yourself and moved it here... 8) :wink:

*cough* "you're" not "your" *cough* ;) :lol:

 

I had to look it up the first time I tried to take my bumper off, and it's always better to ask than to risk dropping an engine on your head! :crazyeyes: 8)

:( Those 2 bolts just turn and turn, the nuts welded onto the top of the bumper bar must have sheared off, so how do I get access to them?

no idea then.... sounds like it's not gonna be easy anyway... :|

 

You may have to cut the heads off the blots and see if that'll let the bumper slide out, but that could leave you in a worse situation than you're in now.... :?
