Front Bumper cover
 
Does anyone have a schematic for removing the front bumper cover? I need to do this to put the oil cooler screens on. Actually, I wanted to see how PITA it is before purchasing the screens.

Thanks.

Easy...takes about 15-20 for first timer. Check the DIY thread for complete instructions.

clips and bolts on top, fasteners and screw at wheel well, bolts/screws on bottom.

OK...I'll do a search. I changed out the radiator screen today and feel a little3 bit more secure, but next weekend I am going on a long drives and wanted my oil coolers protected. Or, if one of you could just supply a link. I know the instructions comes with the cooler screens, but I wanted to gauage how long of a job this would be.

Thank you for your replies

15-20?

Took me over an hour to take off the whole thing...maybe I'm a noob, or the constant drink replenishments...

...watch for the foglight connections (they are on short wires) and also if equipped, headlight washers (disconnect line at top left corner of engine area). Also, cover fender and light areas with tape to avoid scratching during removal and install.

Otherwise, my cat can do it! ...faster than me.
