Gotta take out the fender liners first.

Then it's 5 10mm bolts on each side (fender to bumper).

Then 4 under the hood (also 10mm).

And I haven't had an actual bumper (what some call the support) forever, but I think there's 4 on that too.

both of my s13s have all 10mm nuts/bolts

5 nuts on each side, connecting the fender to the bumper under the liner.

theres 5 along the top of the radiator support or whatever. youll see them.

and then, if theyre still installed, theres four plastic plugs with plastic screws in them (like the door sill screws, but bigger) that hold the bottom of the bumper onto the lower radiator support.

i just swaped my bumpers, so i know this.

GET TO WORK SON!



the bumper support has 14s though, not sure if youre taking that off.

whyre you taking off the bumper anyway?

What were you searching for - your ratchets? Get to work. I'd never done it, never seen it done. It took 30 - 45 mins with hand tools.
