removing rear bumper 77 targa

[7783911]

I have removed bumperettes

to repaint the bumper for the holes I filled..i thought it best to reove the entire bumper instead of working around the trim bits, reflector etc with alot of masking tape. I ve partially removed rubber strip (cant get end near wheelwell to unscrew..or is it just a friction mount?

Next..o just remove bellows and then unscrew the 4 bolts holding the \bumper to the absorber or is there more to this then meets the eye?

Thanks

Yes, four nuts holding the impact bumpers to the bumper and four nuts holding the bellows to the bumpers

as I recall the last couple screws are recessed and behind the little black plugs in the rubber trim strip.

Got them off last night, the bellows put up to most fight...cant wait to re-install!

ended up everything off and refurbished, once painted and clear coated, re installed but this time with the bellows in the proper position verus what dpo did.
