rear bumper 94 sedan

new around here. im looking to pull off my rear bumper and i cant for the life of me figure out how to get it off... i know it sounds like a stupid question but im young, i'll learn... hopefully ;) any help is appreciated

The service manual does not provide really any text, just says to remove the bolts shown in the diagram which I can't paste here.

For the rear bumper, it appears there are 3 bolts on each side holding the bumper to the bumper bracket, accessed from underneath. Once those 6 bolts are removed, it appears there is one screw and washer on each side that maybe the bumper cover slips over near the wheel wells.

thats where im at now... i got the 6 bolts out and i was looking to see if there was some hidden bolt or something b/c i still can't get it off... i'll prolly just cut it off if i dont get any more ideas... im going to build a fiberglass bumper anyway. the only reason im trying to get it off in 1 piece is to sell it as a scrap part.

Look around at the area where the rear bumper joins the rear wheel wells. See if you can tell how the screws hold it in place. The drawing from the manual isn't very clear.

I'd suggest before you sell the stock bumper you have a few months of use on the fiberglass part. The urethane (?) stock bumper has a lot of flex built in to it. It can handle temperature extremes without cracking and it can handle 5 mph impacts (usually without much damage). A fiberglass bumper will not.

yea the stock is urethane... i really dont have to worry about impact... we're building it into sorta a show car (got a loooooong way to go before that happens) and it prolly wont get off blocks for at least another month...
the car looks really rough but its a labor of love :wink:
