They seem to be striped and rusted on and i cant get them off . also the side skirt i cant figure out how to get it off up towards the front of the car. how do you take it off after you get all of the hangers off. btw im doing this all in my drive way. please give me any tips or sugestions thanks my ride: 1998 Ford SVT contour Silver mods: Silver grilles,knauberized,gold calipers,HELLA Optilux Angel Eyes,piaa windsheild wipers....next mods to come within the next month: SVTF euro wheels,Fuzion ZRI`s 215/40/17,Eibachs

Take a Sawz-all and cut the bumper off? How about a cutting torch and melt the bumper off? 95 Contour GL. Bought new. BAT Sway Bars/Pioneer CD/Koni Rear Struts/Mobil Fluids. Looking for 15" alloy rims-PM me. 180,500km's so far.
