Wholy ****

First it is the black tabs at the top of the bumper. I had to end up cranking 3 of them to pieces because they would NOT come off with the screwdriver.

Then i proceed to the bottom bumper screws and the thread on my SCREWDRIVER is striping.


What ....the ......****....

 

10mm for the bottom

 

I know it doesn't help now but for others or the future the top inserts need to be removed by first lifting the center just a little bit and then pull on the bigger outer part because if you keep pulling on the center portion it respreads the outer part and and wont come out.

 

When removing the bumper cover, I unscrewed the wheel well screws with a Swiss Army knife. I have one with the little 90 degree phillips screwdriver...it really was a big help.
