Rob I know you can answer this one. I need to install my new radiator, crank pulley, and power steering oil cooler ASAP and I can't figure out how to remove the front bumper.

When are you installing the radiator? I wouldn't mind checking that out.

Sometime next week. I haven't got it in yet. I leave for California tomorrow evening and come back Sunday. Then I have to install it before Thursday of next week to be ready for Buttonwillow.

Ok, it's pretty easy. Jack up the car and take off the front tires - it's easier to work like this. Take off the screws underneath along the front row connecting the bumper to the plastic air dam thingy. Take off the 2 on each side connecting bumper to the plastic in front of each fender. Then you'll need to disconnect the front splash guards in each wheel well. There's a screw right by the outer fender area, and the rest are plastic pop screws. This part of the splash guard can hang once you have the side open, you need access to 3 screws they are shielding. I believe there is 2 10mm screws and one I took off with a philips head. After you do each side, the last step is to take out the plastic pop screws in front of the engine bay. These will keep it in place while the others are being removed. Careful, I broke one of mine, these are really crappy and I'm sure the desert heat/dryness doesn't help. It should slide straight out. That's the quick and dirty.

Another option if you want to leave the wheels on - just turn the wheel to give yourself enough room to disconnect splash guard and remove the 3 bolts on each side.
