Using a plastic trim tool, remove all of the plastic clips along the top edge of the bumper. We'll then remove the 10 millimeter screw at the top corner of the bumper bracket on each side. We are bringing our vehicle up on the lift to make it easier to show you what's going on, but you should be able to do this either with the vehicle on the ground or the front end raised slightly.
Clearly we're removing our bumper because the vehicle was in a collision, but if your bumper is intact, you would have two 10 millimeter bolts right about here. Ours ripped out of the bumper, so we'll just remove those so we have them out when our new one goes on. We removed the wheel to make it easier to show you what we're doing, but you should be able to access this with the wheel on. We're going to use a T20 Torx driver. You can do this either as a screw driver or with a ratchet. Remove the three T20 Torx bolts in each wheel well.
Peel back the wheel well liner and remove the 10 millimeter bolt with the 10 millimeter socket ratchet. You'll also need a seven millimeter socket ratchet to remove this bolt. You'll need to get up a little higher to remove the three 10 millimeter bolts up on the front edge of the fender. We'll do that with a 10 millimeter socket ratchet. We're missing our wheel well liner over here from the collision. Other than that, we'll repeat these steps on the opposite side. Carefully pull the bumper back. Once you've got a little slack on there, disconnect the bumper harness and remove it from the vehicle.
Reinstall the main electrical connector to the front bumper. Then line up the tabs on the fender and slide each side of the bumper into place. Reinstall the 10 millimeter bolt into the bumper bracket. Reinstall the seven millimeter screw at the bottom of the bumper bracket. Repeat these steps on the opposite side.
Resecure your wheel well liner with your three T20 Torx screws. Line up and reinstall the two 10 millimeter screws at the bottom of the bumper as well. Reinstall your plastic clips by popping them into the hole and then pushing the top down. There are three on each side of the hood latch. Reinstall the 10 millimeter bolt in the top corner on each side of the bumper.
