Okay what's the tip for removing the LATE model front bumpers? The big black heavy piece with the 2 tits. It's been a little frustrating and all the comments I've found are for the early model.

Remove 2 big bolts (19mm) from the underside. Then when it's loose, with your fingers just pry the rubber sides loose, they're just held behind a tab. Then just pull the whole thing forward.

I asked the same question. They posted a picture for me. It is easier than it looks.

Get the gits soft oil or hot water or just pull they will come out.

I took the 74 2.0 bumpers and bumper tops off to clean and fix

They are beautiful now. And fixed.

Be care not to break the bolts.?..VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE.
I did but figured a perfect way to replace them.

Dig the old one out and pack some epoxy in the with a new bolt and plastic
Rubber washer.

Don't break the bolts on bumper or toppers!
