Question removing rear bumper

I need help with taking off the rear bumper. Does anyone have pics, or can explain how to get to those side bolts/nuts.

Here is a pic of my other car of where it bolts to. I still can not figure out how to get to these.

If someone can help that would be great.

Geoff

do you mean the bolts at the side ???
you need to take off the interior panel (where the jack and stand locate at) first and you will see the bolts. I believe is 3 on each side

You need to remove the inner rear plastics and Bose if you have it.

so it looks kinda like this...

*you don't have to remove this much stuff this was just for my rebuild/restoration

then the bolts are in the "pocket" here in the fender wells...on the driver side you have to unbolt that ABS unit.

well I have some good news, I was able to remove the bumper.

Getting to the nuts was really easy, but getting those clips off was a bitch. I was scared I was going to break something or crack the bumber, but it came off.

Thanks again guys for the help.
