As always, i get excited when people subscribe. Please do, if you have a youtube account.

 

Great video, thanks keep em coming.

 

Nice! Should be helpful to a lot of people, i recently saw a thread about some one who was having a hard time removing this so this should be helpful.

 

Good stuff man. Keep em coming.

 

Great Video straight forward...

 

Very helpful. That's what this forum is all about!

Thanks OP

 

nice video

 

that will help me, iv been wanting to ake mine off to get to the oil cooler and straighten the fins

 

Good stuff there!

To add to it -

- There are 2 Phillips head screws at the very outside lip of the bumper. Yours may not have had them, they could be missing from a previous owner.

- You do have to unbolt the belly pan as well from the front bumper, but you don't have to remove it.

- 1/4" drive tools are your friend here. With an extension and a universal joint, and a deep well 10mm socket. That makes taking those 10mm nuts off the sides a snap.

Just take your time doing it, especially since you're dealing with a painted surface. Put the nose somewhere safe if you're doing other work, you don't want junk hitting it or sparks flying onto it.

Good stuff as always!

I went through this last week. After you know where the 3 hidden nuts are it's fairly easy. Getting it back on is going to be the interesting part.


Any HOW-TO's for the fenders?

 

good question. I dont have a reason to take mine off, but what the hell. Ill look into it. Im doing a single turbo setup so im gutting the front end and cleaning it all up. Doing the quick and dirty how tos along the way.

I started posting them all to my website. Im not promoting it, but im throwing all the videos on there for organization.

 

You should do the rear bumper, that was the hardest for me out of all the exterior pieces.

 

nice video. I gave you the max stars and a brief kudos.

 

i love you.

As you can imagine, its one of those things that excites me to see. :-D

I have a huge reason for doing these videos all of the sudden, i just cant announce it yet. But rest assured, you guys watching and helping me improve is respect in my book.
