How to remove a 1998 Vitara Front Bumper ???
Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2015 4:00 pm
Would like some help please folks,i need to be able to remove the front plastic bumper from my 1998 LWB Vitara,it needs to be removed so that some small plates can be welded just behind the bumper,the welding job itself is pretty straight forward.
Can see some of the screws and bolts that require removing and of course like most things some are rusted but we have removed some of the fitting that we can see,but has anyone actually remove the full bumper from a Vitara and highlight any hidden fittings that are holding it on.
We can take the grill off and see behind the headlights but cannot see any fittings holding the bumper on still,also we would like to take the plastic cowling off that go around the headlamps as we feel that could show us some possible hidden fittings behind these headlight surrounds,one would think that removing a plastic wrap around bumper would be pretty straight forward but its being a bloody nightmare.
Can anyone help with any suggestion either from removing one yourself or have access to a workshop manual that shows how it can be done ??? i am fighting against the free MOT retest clock.
Any help would be most welcome,Thanks
