Rear bumper removal.

Copied here from the wrong forum....

Help please, I have searched several forums with no luck.
I want to remove the rear bumper cover to fit parking sensors.
Does anyone have any decent notes about how to do this?,
I can see 3 'bolts' either side inside the boot but I'm not sure
if they are removed from inside or outside. Thanks!.
PS its a 1991 saloon.

Edit. Sorry, I meant how to remove the bumper, not how
to fit the sensors.

This may not be a direct benefit to you, but here's a picture of the rear bumper parts. Maybe looking at the parts will give you a clue for removal.

I got it from Discount Toyota Parts. There may be a similar vendor in the UK.

Thanks for that. It shows the problem up, Parts 3,4, and 5 are the fasteners
I can see from in the boot (trunk), 3 sets each side, I just can't work out if they are
undone from inside or outside the car. I'll have another look later.
That's a handy website, and the prices are good.

Did it today, in case anyone else needs to know.......
Remove the plastic plugs from the boot lining and lock cover and peel back.
From inside the car, remove 3 nuts either side (left hand has 2 behind the battery so a bit fiddly. Remove a nut either side just in from the lamps, and 1 either side of the lock.
Then remove 2 pins under the bumper, (push in to remove).
The bumper then slides off easy.

Thanks, Steve. We are an electronic, post-literate society. Where are the pictures or video?
