ok so here is the story... a friend of mine is co owners in "Old school cycles"
and about a month ago a ford explorer landed on the front lawn of the shop
well they waited for the owner to come and they never came so my buddy calls the cops, and to make a long story short the x was stolen and abandoned ... well there is alot of damage on it so the real owner is scraping it and this tow truck company took it well im gettin the front bumper and some other stuff..

The bumper is held on with 4 nuts. Simple removal.

just grab a handful from say 9/16 to 7/8 - that should cover it - deep well if possible

It's most likely metric and probably around 19mm (Gen 1 bumpers are held on with 4 19mm nuts)
