    Rear Bumper Removal

    Can someone who has done it share some info?

    I've removed the 4 top push in peices, along with the 2 screws (when the tailgate is open) along with 4 or so push in pieces underneath. The fender flares have 2 push in type things too. It's still not loose and I don't want to break anything, it almost looks like these things in the picture need to be released or come out or something, but I'm not sure.

    (All technical terms referenced above are trademarked by me)

    Behind the rear fender well towards the rear bumper there are 2 bolts that screw the bumper into the body. They are up there, I found mine with a flashlight. Is this what you are missing?

    Most likely, I read that in the manual but couldn't find them and this manual was wrong on the spare tire winch so I was just assuming they weren't there.. I guess I need to look a little harder. Did you have to remove the splash guard or whatever? (the black plastic of the inner fender) to get to them?

    No, just lay on your back and look up. Driver side it's above/between the evap (?) thing and the plastic fender well. On the pass side, you'll have to reach past the exhaust behind the plastic fender well to get to it. YOu can see it with a flashlight and once you see it, you'll know exactly what I mean.

    From the outside of the vehicle, the nut is behind (inside) where the plastic bumper and metal quarter panel come together at the fender well. Am I making any sense?

    Nut is where the red circle is, on the inside of the fender. At least it is on my WK so it should be the same on your XK, right?
