Default How do I remove front bumper?

This is on a 79. I have fixed headlights, do I need to remove the headlight panels. They look very close to some of the top bolts. I don't have any manuals for pics. Does anyone have a pic on where all the attachments are at? Thanks

Headlights can stay in place. The retainer pieces and nuts are installed full perimeter of the bumper. Remove the license plate bracket and disconnect the front center; and the lower valance.

Go to the ZIP website and find the front bumper. There should be an install blow-up in the lower right corner of that page.

They also sell manuals.



It's straight forward; once you tear into it.

Are you replacing the orininal bumper with a fiberglass bumper cover. If so take a sawsall to it about 1 inch from the seam makes getting to the fasteners easy. Other wise hard to get to fasteners and most will break. Good luck JAY
