my 03 single cab f150 bumper dropped on one side and got caught in my front tire. so i have to replace it since its all bent now. how do i take the front bumper off?

 

get under your truck and take a look

 

I'm not sure what type of bumper you have, but if you have the big plastic piece on the bottom it's probably easier to take that off first...there's about 15 bolts that runs from side to side. With that off it gives you easier access to the brackets that attach the bumper to the frame.

 

i got under it and i saw 2 bolts on each side and removed them,but its still on there. there might be a screw under ther grill theres like a cardboard type cover for that part but i'm about to go investigate. My truck does have the plastic under the bumper but i dont know how to take that off.

 

no foglights on my on bumper

 

3 plastic clips on the rubbery panel under the engine, and then the 4 main bolts on the bumper brackets at the end of the frame rail. I believe they are 21mm or 13/16" but dont quote me on that

 

got it off in 100 degree weather nonetheless... i'm putting the new bumper on and i'm trying to get it into place but one side doesn't give me much space to slide the new bumper in and down into position.. i obvously know jack about trucks and appreciate yalls help..so any suggestions?
