Gen5 Removing Front Bumper off my 05

How hard is it remove the front bumper of the Toyota Camry 2005? I have always had my bumper remove/put on by the local toyota dealership? Can this be done easy, I'm asking because I see alot of members here that had to remove their bumper to replace their lights?

If this task is easy how do i go about doing it? Do i need any special tools?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Naw its pretty easy, there are about 5 screws under in front of the bumber. Open the hood and you should see two of them there as well. Now the last two are in top of the tires. You need to remove the bottom ones frist and then remove the plactic protector in top of the wheels and there is one in each side. THat should be all.

It ain't rocket science to take it off.
