Gen 5 Camry Bumper Removal

[citrxj]

Not quite sure if anyone has it posted it up already, but does anyone have the manual for removing the bumper, or a quick how-to guide? Someone left a nice big dent in my bumper last night and I wanna see if I can do something about it.

Which bumper? front or back? Can't really help until we know

[citrxj]

Oh, rear bumper!

A front bumper guide would be nice to have for reference though.

Front bumper is easy. Pop the hood there is two bolts beside each headlight, and a plastic clip you pop out in the center.

There is a bolt behind each wheel, you have to pull out the plastic wheel well shield to get at them.

Then under the car you undo the bolts holding up the splash gaurd, which is also holding the bumper... once you do this, it just pops off..

Warm that paint up on the dent, it will help in keeping the flaking to a minimum.

Rear removal is like the front, you have a bolt on each side on the inner wheel well, undo one each side and then pop the trunk and you have two screws, and underneath center you should have two clips to undo. Place tape under the rear taillights at the gap between the light and bumper, this will prevent chipping. Pull the bumper out from the ends at the wheel wells and undo from the body on each side. Then pull from the center (at the trunk openning) to undo the tabs in the middle and then it should pull straight out and off the car (two people will be needed to do this), or you can grab from the bottom center and pull out, this will usually chip the inner corners at the TL and trunk opening.
