So we're going to peel this splash shield back. It also will make it easier if you turn your wheel to the inside of whatever side you're working on so you can open this up. You can tell it’s held in with some 7mm self-tapping screws and some push clips. I'll start with the 7mm self-tapping screws. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver or a trim clip tool, I'm going to work these barbed clips out. Now we'd fold this up.
Now you can peel your fender liner back, reach in and disconnect your fog lamp. Repeat these steps on the opposite side.
We've got our vehicle up in the air so it's easier for us to show you these bolts. There's one here, and here, but you could slide under here with the vehicle on the ground. Just make sure it's on level ground and it's not going to roll on you. So we're going to start by removing these bolts with a 10mm socket. I'm going to remove the opposite side.
All right. Remove the six 10mm bolts at the top of the grille and bumper assembly. Now you can see we're removing the last bolt here, top of the bumper cover assembly and grille. It's pretty loose. Now we're going to pull the bumper cover off its mounting bracket. With a firm tug it's going to unhook like that. I'm going to repeat this on the opposite side. Now the bumper cover is loose. I'll lift it off, and I forgot to unclip the other fog light, so unclip those before you take the bumper off.
I'm going to reinstall the bumper. This foam is going to fit into this plastic channel here. You have to line it up with your bumper brackets here. There's locating tabs in the top grille. Line those up in the radiator support. Clip the bumper into the bracket. Repeat for the other side.
Reinstall the six 10mm bolts into the radiator support. Reinstall the lower bumper bolts, 10mm bolt. Reach up and reconnect your fog lamp. Repeat for the other side.
Replace the barbed clips if you took them out. Reinstall the 7mm self-tapping screws. Repeat these steps on the opposite side.
