cant get the front bumper off, need quick help Ive got a t/a im putting a new bumper on. I cant get the old cover off. I got the fasteners on the top and bottom and unbolted all the bolts that run along the bottom. But i cant figure out how to get to the fender bolts.
Do you have to remove the whole front assembly? I saw theres flaps underneith and I wedged my hand up to unbolt one of the bolts but it looks like theres a metal brace holding the two togethor and theres more bolts and threads running along where the bumper connects to the fender. I cant get to any of these. Headlights need to be removed? Any help would be great

Here are steps on how to remove the front fascia on a Camaro....I think it would be similar for your t/a

there is 2 bolts on each of the fenders. 10MM deep socket with extentions are your best friend. You need to pop open your headlights to get to a screw that is right there by the light and where the fender and bumper meet. You'll see, that bracket is rivited to the bumper and comes out as with the thing. You'll need to put it on the new bumper.

i saw that. its the little 7mm bolt up top next to the lights. So i take that out and then i just go under the car and reach up to unbolt those 2 10mm bolts? Will that bracket come out then? It looks like its got a screw from the fender holding it on too.
This is a real PITA
