How to remove the front bumper (1 Viewer)

[rhyary]

Hi all.
I am looking to remove the front bumper. In the picture attached, what procedure do I use to remove it? I would like to remove it as a unit, not take it a part if possible.

Thanks

To remove the front bumper just un-bolt the bumper stay brackets (left & right side - 2 or 3 bolts each) from the frame horns.

This will allow the entire front bumper assembly including the bumper extensions and their brackets to be removed in one piece.

Have a 2nd person avaliable to catch the bumper as you un-bolt it so it doesn't fall in your lap or on the floor and get damaged.

This shouldn't take more than 15 minutes since there are no wires to disconnect or other attachment points.

I bought a bumper for my LX450 from Romer (thanks again Romer!)and had it installed in 30-45minutes but had to assemble the new bumper before installing it.

The only tools you should need are a ratchet, socket and maybe combination wrench for the bolts - i think they were 15mm or 17mm.

BTW the side rail extensions just hang on the frame, you'll see when you get it apart - good luck!!

Sawzall and torches go quickly to...if your into that kinda thing!

Rope. Tree. Reverse. Done.

Just kidding, though gentle use this method can do wonders for a bumper that is mildly tweaked.

YMMV

Its easy to do. Crawl under there and you can see what needs to be unbolted from the frame. I did it by myself with no problems at all.
