Default Front bumper removal

Whats the process for taking off the front bumper? I can see the two front bolts but not the ends. Is it just 4 bolts? Do I need to remove the front grills before taking it off? Thanks, Tom

Do you want to take off the whole bumper assembly? including the honey comb, and metal supports? cause then youll have to unbolt a LOT of bolts. When i was taking it off after an accident i had a REALLY hard doing it, even with all of the fiberglass front end off(except for the bumper cover), if you wish to take off the whole bumper assembly id suggest taking off the front end and hood, i dont know how you could it with the front end on, also a LOT of the bolts are rusted in place, or youll find that you can't get them out using a wrench, so be prepared to use a cutting wheel quite a few times, we had to cut off about 3-5 bolts. Hope this helps you out, and keep us updated. :thumbs:

Sorry, I should have said before mine is a 1969. So this should not be that difficult. Thanks for your response. Tom

Tom, it has been a while since I have taken mine off but as I remember there was 2 bolts in the center and one on each corner.

I just took mine off a few weeks ago, and it is two in the center, and two on the corners.
