I have tried searching to no avail. I have a '76 that I am trying to get ready to paint and I can't figure out how to remove the front bumper shocks. Do you have to grind off the weld from the support bracket?
I've done this once before but it was about 10 years and a lot of beers ago. Thanks for the help. |

getting those bolts off from the bottom is easy. Getting those bastards started back in will get you cussing, though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) When (if) you reassemble, attach the three trunk bolts loosely so they you have plenty of play when the bolts under the rubber bumper are installed. I use a long handled hex key to line the holes up. Once the outer bolts are in, go back and tighten the inner 3 bolts. You'll still get some cussing in.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
