Misaligned front bumper

[ChpStckRlz]

My mom took my car to work a few days ago and she fell on a ditch, so my Corolla's bumper came off a bit on one side and when it got home I just pushed the bumper in, anyways I didn't align it correctly now there's a huge underbite with the front bumper and headlights on the passenger side, anyways I'm looking for instructions on how to take my front bumper off and putting it back on.


here are some pics

you can find the steps to remove the bumper in a repair manual like a Haynes Manual, you can find these at most auto parts stores for like 15-20 dollars. plus, having one is helpful for other maintenance too so they're really a very useful thing to have

I've tried to look for the Toyota Corolla Repair Manual at like 5 autoshops and well 3 of them didn't offer books and the other 2 didn't have them in stock. I really need to find the instructions online right now, I'd rather not wait for an order in Amazon to come in next week.

I have the exact same problem on my 2004 corolla. Have not fixed it... will you let me know if your procedure works? Thanks!!

Having a hard time taking off the bumper, I'll just take her to a body shop next week.

I've been leery about taking it to the shop. I'm worried about how much they will charge me... let me know how much yours costs if you don't mind.

Awesome, thanks!

How did you fix yours, exactly? Did you just remove your bumper and then re-attach it? Once you re-attach it is easy to re-seat properly?

Thanks again!

yeah I just took it off and put it back on and it was fine, but check it really well and get like 2 people to help, it's not a one man job.
