Hi guys,

Removing the rear bumper from my tech 2. The two torx bolts are already too damaged to enable me to remove it by removing those bolts. I have located the four 13mm nuts that secure the bumper to the bumper shocks. Am I right that in removing these, the bumper can be removed?

I have tried loosening them, but have noticed that the opposing end is rotating too, with nothing to counter-hold it, it's circular!
Any help appreciated!

Undoing the four 13mm nuts should allow the bumper to pull off the car.

The one that's turning will need to be cut off. Someone been there before and messed things up?
