you have 3 screws and a clip in each wheel well and then you have the clips in the trunk opening and there will be i believe 2 more clips on the bottom.

just like oldsman said 3 screws on wheel well, and 1 plastic clip, I beleive you need a flathead to pry up the pop thingy on it and then pliers to pull n remove, same with the 4 on the top (under trunk)
(screwdriver- flat head and phillips and pliers) should get it off for you.

they are gm pushpin fasteners, and some are a PITA.

If it's anything like my Escort, it's about as easy as doing an oil change.

Both bumpers and side skirts were a pain in the ass for me, but I did mine outside, on the ground, while it was snowing/raining.

What did you replace it with? Was it as easy to get the new one on?

Doing it by yourself, installing a bumper is harder than removing it since you have to line stuff up. Still not difficult though. |
