I want to remove my S4 front end to swap in an S5, I started pulling bolts and pulling as hard as I could to no avail. Any writeups or anything for this? Frustrating the hell out of me.

 

Hey bud I have been there what you want to do is go up under the fenders wheel wells you have to get down and move the plastic that makes the wheel well under the fender in the front of the car there are bolts that actually go into the wheel well FROM the bumper INTO the fender you will take the NUTS OFF from inside the fender I believe there are four on each side you will need a LONG SOCKET EXTENSION unless you have hands the size of a four year old and long as a 25 year old... if you TAKE PICTURES AND SEND THEM TO ME!!! LOL but anyway its very annoying it took me a WHILE to figure it out.

Imagine if you were standing in front of the car looking down from above at the bumber its basically a U shape and imagine four bolts going down each end that slide Into the bumper and then are bolted down with nuts that are accessable from inside the fender.

I hope i helped i tried to give as much detail as possible if that doesnt help at all let me know I have my bumper off right now so I can take pictures and send to you!

 

God D*mnit, I seriously warped this bumper pulling on it, oh well it was screwed up anyways. Thanks alot, you the man and I love this forum.
