How to remove the front Bumper cover.
I have to replace my cracked flash to pass lens, how do you remove the front to gain access to the inside?
I don't want to go in heavy handed and break things!

so if you take the headlight trim cover things off you can actually get to the FTP area, although its tight. may help to remove the turn signal
if you really want to take the bumper off, there are bolts at the top, bottom and sides. the top side bolts are not fun!

if you haven't done it before, yes. if you've done it before, and left out the top side bolts, its like an hour job

I don't know about the S4 but on my S5 I've never taken the front bumper off to remove or install the FTP lenses. It's been a while since I did it but I don't remember taking the trim off the headlight. I think there is a plastic piece beside the headlight that after removed and with the headlight up you can stick your arm in there and get to the nuts that hold the FTP lense on. It's done mostly by feel.

See, I knew there was a easier way!
