    Anyone with any expertise here???

    Someone :mad: hit my cover near the front - pulling it away from the car - no real damage long term - but I want to pull stuff off, and put it back proper...

    I've pulled the rear one - which was easy - just looking for a bit of thought before pulling my front...

    TIA to all...

    I pulled the bumper off my Scion a few times so the process can't be much different being a Toyota.

    First you'll want to pop your hood and remove any plastic pins holding the bumper. Then there will be some 10mm/philips screws on the under side of the cover as well as one in the wheel well. Underneath the fenderliner, there will be a 10mm bolt on the passenger side as well as the driver side. After that, it should just pop off for you to adjust.

    My 100k maint page has some basic instructions; just take out a few
    more fasteners than I did, and poof.

    Thanks for the guide hobbit. The basic instructions really helped me out .. The sad part is,.. I scratched the bumper cover. Too bad.
