Ford 7R3Z-17K835-BAPTM Cover - Bumper

To remove the front bumper cover, apply the parking brake, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. Under the vehicle, remove the fasteners securing the lower edges of the bumper cover. In the front wheel opening, detach the retaining screws that secure the bumper cover to the inner fender well splash shield. Pry out the lower edge of the splash shield, then reach up behind the bumper cover to remove the bumper cover-to-fender retaining nuts. Next, remove the radiator cover fasteners and cover, followed by the fasteners securing the upper portion of the bumper cover, and pull the bumper cover assembly out and away from the vehicle. Disconnect any electrical connections that would interfere with removal. For the rear bumper cover, again apply the parking brake, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. Under the vehicle, detach the fasteners securing the lower edges of the bumper cover. In the trunk, pry out the fasteners securing the rear inside trunk finishing panel to access the bumper cover retaining bolts. For 2011 and later models, remove the fasteners attaching the mud flaps to the lower edge of the quarter panels. Detach the fasteners securing the bumper cover to the right and left quarter panels, then pull the bumper cover out and away from the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal.
