How long and how difficult to remove the front bumper from my 98 GS400? I have used search and found a link to BananaGS's site with a DIY but the link does not work. I want to take it off to have it repainted.

 

ITs not that bad...

there are a few obvious screws and clips in the fender and on top of the bumper by the grill.

you will have some UNDER the bumper

and the headache...

there are 2 10mm inside the bumper by the headlights. you will have to move your inner wheel well lining to get to them

thats all I remember off the top of my head. Forgive me if I forget any.

 

Not hard at all. It took me two hrs, because I didn't want to take off the finder liners to get to the two screws under the headlights. Came off really easy after, you might run into a problem on the driver side. The windsheld washer bottle is somewhat in the way of the top screw.
The finder liner clips will brake, I would get some new ones before you take off the liner clips.

 

Thanks for the info. I hope to get the front bumper repainted and will save a little money by removing it myself.

 

yeah, i agree with junction, it's not hard, but the two 10mm bolt right beside the headlights are a bit annoying. the first time it probablyt ook me like 30 mins. but now i can take off teh bumper in maybe 10 15
