Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Trouble with bumper removal

I am having a little problem removing my front bumper. Where the bumper butts up to the fender right under the corner lamp, there are 2 screws, I tried removing these screws and nothing is happening, Could someone that has removed their front bumper please give me a little advise please... Pre 98 if that matters...

Thanks in advance, TJ

Are you trying to replace the bumper or get to a certain engine part?

if you're removing the bumper cover completely, there are a lot more fasteners. After you remove the splash shield (9 x Torx-27) and grille (2 x screws), there are:

- the 1 or 2 screws that attach to the fender (wheel well) liner
- the 'pin-fastener' in the center of the radiator duct, on the underside of the top section (to remove the fastener, remove the center pin first)
- another two of the same on the top side of the bumper cover underneath the grille.
- one on each bumper support by the wheel.
