[Shotimes] Rear bumper attachments!

[Kevin - Cheryl Airth]

Bill:
 The rear bumper has a plastic slide/bracket glued/bonded to the inside of
each bumper end. Take a look and you will see what I mean. These slide onto
two big headed steel pins mounted to the rear body of the car, on the sides.
Then the bumper is bolted from rear to the bumper shock absorbers. Just
remove these bolts and the entire bumper will slide straight back and off
the car. It's better to use two people to avoid scratching paint and putting
a big bind on the plastic bumper. Be sure to check the passenger side
bracket also. I had one side come loose and the other was part way cracked.
Use the proper adhesive. Try a auto paint store and tell them what you are
bonding. Then glue and clamp the bracket to the bumper. Be sure and sand or
grind the bonding surfaces to make it hold. Pretty simple fix but a little
time consuming. I had no trouble after that. If the car has been hit that
can loosen up the brackets too.
