the rear bumper? you are going to have to remove your taillights first and then everything else is easy. just be careful you don't mess up the taillights.

you don't really have to remove the rear bumper guard, just make sure u nothing is attached to it. I'm not sure, I forgot whether the ground is attached somewhere on it or not, but I doubt it.

Same thing happened to me, and I just reached up underneath and felt around and found it. I'd try that before I took the bumper off.

If you back up really quickly into a post, I hear the bumper will fall right off.
