Hey guys i have to take my rear bumper of of my 97 sport and i cant seem to figure out how..I see about 100 bults and stuff do all theses have to be removed or am i missing something simple..I wanna sand down all the rust on the bumper and redo it so i need it off fast....any help soon would be great

Thanx

There are 4 main bolts holding the bumper to the frame. There are brackets between the frame and bumper, it's best to leave those on the bumper.
 






it is way easy.
Those buggers are tight though so eat your Wheaties.
If I am not mistaken they are 18mm
possibly 21mm
I can't recall off hand
 






Thanx alot guys i got it no problem when i actully looked closer at what i was doin.
