Front and rear bumper removal ?

[smithy318i]

What size torx spanner do i need for the back and will an allen key do?
How do i remove the front bumper ? or do you just remove the cover?

[TOURINGDADDY]

the bumper casing comes off after u have removed all the pin clips then all u do is remove the 2 horizontal torx bolts and off they come

It's a T55. Undo the two up from underneath then slide it off. Don't forget the front indicator wiring; pull the bumper forward to access the plugs.

Same with the rear two T55's and then it just slips off backwards, pull one side then the other and it'll disengage from the clips.

my rear ones were a joke one of of them was seized rusted and rounded impossible to get off even with a boltsplitter cos its a monster

luckily i spent all day fiddling and managed to fit my mtec 2 bumper on securely. bastad thing

I had that problem when removing my tow bar from Dave tourings scrapper.......but he is quite large......and the bumper is only fiberglass......ahemm any way the bolt came out of the towbar when it was held in a vice

Dave had no problem getting it off with only one bolt undone

[Dan318-is]

Often heard in the Widge garage:

"hmmm...........I'm going to need a bigger hammer"
