Hi All,

ared there any hints/tricks anyone can suggest for taking off the front and rear bumpers? The bolts look they they're in tight spots and I've been spraying them for the past two weeks w/PB. Thanks for any suggestions.

Cheers,
Nick

No real tricks. Just use a 1/2" drive ratchet & sockets. Take them off brackets and all. Then remove the brackets if you are going to reuse them. 24" breaker bar works great for the more stubborn ones. If they don't want to budge, give 'em a whack tight, then loose. Rinse & repeat.

I find it much easier on a hoist with air tools. :wave:

Now I understand the jokes. No bolts broke, thankyou PB-Blaster, but to get to them we opted for the cutting wheel air chisel route.
