How to take off nose / bumper block offs?

Question,

I want to know how to take off the 3 front bumper block offs shown in the photo attached.

I have the factory service manual and I didn't see it clearly in there (section S-17 talks about taking off the front bumper).

I don't see how to take off just these 3 pieces. Is it necessary to take off the bumper to do this?

If so, anyone have any time estimates on how long to take off the front bumper?

Thanks,

Mike

I remember taking the air inlet scopps off long ago, believe it is one bolt each, and without removing the bumper cover

Remove the foglites first then take a look

If you don't have the foglights, the ones in the nose are easy to remove. I don't even think they bolt on - they're just slipped over tabs or something.

The one on the left side (what would be the second oil cooler duct) can be done from below. Remove the brake duct and you should be able to remove it. It's not that terribly difficult, just take a little time and they're outta there.

No foglights for me, I have a 93 base ;-)
