Removing BUmber Pads..?
 

Trying to remove the bumber pads (rear)to repalce the ruuber under the valence. I removed the 3 nuts from the underside but it still wont budge. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advacne

Richard, Instead of removing the bumper pads,I trimmed the face of the rubber strip underneath the pads. The top of the rubber strip seals the valance to the bumper. I was just to lazy to pull the bumper pads. Craig

Richard,

I saw the time stamp on your post and figured you had them off by now.

The three nuts each should do it! I assume you already took the license plate lights off. Mine had years of road gunk assisting the bolts. Has your bumper ever been painted? Maybe the PO put them on over wet paint? At this point I'd probably put a rag on top and hop up and down on on it!

BTW, here's my account of removing the rear valence:

PS If I recall, once I got the bumper guards off, there were no screws under them... just empty holes!

The studs corrode in

I did not remove the plate light, looks like it just goes thru the bumper pads. I will go out and beat on it now....

Shoot, Its freaking raining, guess it will have to wait.. Thanks all

Now that was funny, I went to Wallyworld with the wife and came back and read this post...went out to try again, and both pads where off...lol

thanks everyone who helped...


LeeH....the new parts make a big differnce....Did you get your wife's schedule yet?

Actually, I stopped by to help you but you weren't home. I just loosened them up for you and left!

We will have Tammy's schedule for next month in a week or two.

Know anybody who wants to buy a nice Targa? We found a house that we really like and might want to take the money out of the garage and put it in the bank. Just kicking the idea around at this point.

Thanks I appreciate you taking those off for me, how come you did not fill Julie back up before you left?

Sell the Mach 5? NO No No say it aint so...
