Removing Front Bumper

KzooMuscle · Jul 30, 2010

I've done a search, and I've followed the instructions. BUT, for the life of me, CANNOT get this freakin' thing off from underneath the headlights!! :angry4: Is there some technique, or tools I can use besides a screwdriver that could pry this F'r out!? Even my roommate tried to help me pull on it and neither of us could yank it out, and we're not weak by any means :thefinger:

Does anybody have any other suggestions????

you need to remove the headlights and pry.

You don't have to remove headlights. Get a really thin screwdriver, slide it under the bumper which goes under headlights, and you should be able to take it off. There is a small tooth there that keeps in in place.

personally it's a lot easier to remove the headlights than work against them. So I should rephrase, you don't NEED to, but, it makes it a lot easier.

removing the lights will make it a lot easier, have done this a couple of times and always took out the lights.

Well, I removed the headlights this morning (I actually surprised myself, it was a lot easier than removing this stupid bumper has been), tried again at yanking this SOB out, and nothing, not even a little bit. This is quite upsetting. Something so simple like this shouldn't be such a PITA :angry7: :BangHead: I used so many tools, a pry bar, screw driver, pulling, twisting, F!
