Attachment III - Technical Instructions

NOTE
Vehicles that have been serviced by the assembly plant will have a green mark painted on the front bumper left hand side inner arm. Inspect the vehicle for this mark and, if present, submit a claim for inspection only.

Note:
Work on one side of the vehicle at a time to eliminate the need to completely remove the bumper from the vehicle.





1. Support both ends of the bumper. Remove the bumper retaining bolts (one end only) and discard the bolts. (Do not remove the bolts that attach the bumper to the frame. Only remove the bolts attaching the bumper inner arm to the bumper). See Attachment III.

2. Remove u-clips from the bumper face bar tabs and discard. If u-clips are broken, remove any portion that may be remaining.

3. Install new u-clips onto bumper face bar tabs.

4. Position bumper with locating tab of the inner arm in the hole at the top of the bumper. Install new retaining bolts. Do not tighten bolts at this time.

5. Perform steps 1 through 4 on the other side of the bumper.

6. Tighten all bolts to 22.5 +/- 3. 5 N-m (17 +/-2. 5 lb.ft.).
