Rear bumper removal

[YuCanada]

Its easy, just be careful when you pop the sides into the guides on the quarter panel. Just dont drop it!

I just started now but am taking a washroom break. Haha. Where are those 6 screws you are talking about when I open the hatch? I see 2 screws and 2 pins?

And I've got a nice big foam padding that it was shipped with to put under

What the heck is a washroom break?

Two 7mm on each wheel house, one clip on the liner, open the liftgate, Six 7mm holding it to the rear body panel, two 10mm under the bumper cover holding it to the reinforcement. Theres also two push pins in the center of the cover holding it to the rear body panel. Take all bolts out, pull the bumper outward, away from the quarter panels (each side, just to loosen it from the guide), then pull it straight off the back of the vehicle.

Should take no more than 10 minutes.

Wow, talk about a detailed answer!

It's in the compartment on the drivers side under the cup holders. Remove the tire AND the tube going to the components. You can always remove the lifting piece later, but if you don't remove the tube, you wont get it off later...

What is the hold up?

 

[YuCanada]

I don't know I just can't get the tire out :s

 

[Goodinblack]

You assembled the rods?

I think you need 2. Put them together. Small square end foes into the tube

Yeah. I had it lowered but I searched online, and it is because the safety latch is rusted so it won't move. Anyways I'm done :

It came with the sensors which is pretty nice. But it didn't come with the hitch cover which I didn't know until now. Will have to order one.
