My passenger indicator housing is playing up as the bulb moves too much! I have a replacement one. How do I replace it without taking the Mtech 2 bumper off.

Don't think it's possible. The indicator body is fitted to the crash bar with forward facing self tappers into spire clips.
Only a guess/suggestion, but you may be able to pull the centre contact and its circular insulator forward out of its recess enough to replace the spring behind it. Examine your replacement to get an idea if that's possible.
