I need to clean the fog lights and paint the brush guard on my D2, so I figured it would be easier to remove the bumper. I can't figure out how to remove the front bumper. Does anyone have any pictures of what bolts to remove? I tried to unbolt two bolts on the brush guard that look like they allow the brush guard to slide forward and backward for adjustment, but I can't get a socket wrench in there.

 

There are quite a few screws and bolts involved to remove the bumper. The fender liners are screwed into the bumper and there is a mounting stud that is bolted to the corner of the fender up by the headlight. There are several more screws along the bottom center of the lower enge of the bumper. Finally after that is done you can remove the bolts that attach the bumper to the crash cans or just unbolt the crash cans from the frame and take them off with the bumper. The whole procedure is laid out in the RAVE manual.

 

Once you get all the dump plastic guards off there only 6 bolts holding it on. Two on each crush can and then one each side sitting in a bracket to hold it in place. But you only need to remove the brush guard bolts to remove the brush guard. You need 1/2 socket for the nut and i think an 11/16 wrench to hold the bolt in place on the other side so you can turn it.

Edit: I have an 03
