Removing front bumper cover...?
 
I'm preparing to remove/replace/repaint the front bumper cover (85 GSL), but I'm not clear on how best to actually take it off...

The FSM talks about removing the entire bumper ("Start by taking out the battery" etc.); do I need to physically remove the entire bumper in order to get just the urethane cover off?

yep you pull off the whole bumper and then take the cover off of that.

very easy, remove the grille, its 5 screws. there are 4 10mm bolts between the bumper cover and the front air dam. you disconnect the two light assemblies, the connector is by the headlight motors.

then on the bottom of the bumper itself there are two holes, and in there are two 14mm bolts. remove bolts and the bumper will slide out to the front. there is a guide/clip on each side.

now to pull the skin off there are like 42 screw/clip/fasteners...

Does anybody have any pictures of the 4 10mm bolts.

I'm so hopeless at body work.
