How long does it take to take off and put on the front bumper? More, less, same for both process?

 

SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH

Removing Front Bumper came up with this

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...g+front+bumper

 

I did search. Already have directions. Just wanted to get a time estimate of how long it takes to remove it and put it back on.

 

the first time will always be time consuming. once you do it, the second time will be very fast.

i would say 2 hours for removing and replacing the first time and 1 hour for the second time since you know where every nut is.

the two nuts on each side of the bumper are the hardest to get to.

good luck

 

yes the 2 screws on each side is the hardest.. have to go thru the fender wall

 

Are there any adjustments or is it a straight up bolt on/off? I want a new front bumper soon because my car has a plate frame and we don't need front plates here.

 

no adjustment needed. when you put your bumper back on, make sure it lines up with the body line. one hand holding the bumper and the other hand tightening the bolts.

 

first time it took me 30 mins, now i can do it in 10.

hint, you REALLY need the right tool or it will take you a lot longer

 

sorry to bump this but what is the right tool ???

 

screwdriver and a socket wrench 10mm

 

oh i know those Panda

i was just figuring from the way HEnry worded it there was some "super"tool

ok thanks

 

are there any step by step pics of this process?

 

ill have one for you this weekend chuck

i have to take off my old to install new

ill do a writeup for 2005

 

way to be

 

Looking forward to it. I'm sure you know this, but those 2 bumper bolts on each side can damage the paint on the front fender if you're not careful. When installing new headlights late last year, Lexus really did a number on my car.

By the way, TLW, thanks for the reply over the weekend on the thread I started for my kids with all the smiley faces. The mods were quick to remove it, but I'm glad someone got a laugh out of it.
