Hanes Manual quote.
REMOVAL
front bumper- 1995 through 1998
"1. apply parking brake, jack up the front of the vehicle and support it on jackstands
2. Where applicable, remove the foglights from the front bumper ( Me talking now, Just unplug them, it's easyier to take em out later
)
3. Where applicabe, disconnect the tubing from the headlight washer jets.
4. Unscrew the screws securing the wheel arch liners to the front bumper
5. Unscrew the bumper mounting nuts, and withdrawl the bumper forwards from the vehicle, at the same time disconnecting the guides from the side pins"
sounds easier than a post 98!
later,
