HOw to remove the front bumper in maxima 1997
 

Can someone please send me instruction on how to remove the front bumper.? im trying to buy new bumper because mine is cracked and installing it my self but first i need to take the old one off.

i wish my memory wasnt so bad dude ! ive taken mine off before, and cant say it was that difficult, basically i looked for every bolt holding it on and removed them. not much help but if you grab all your tools and look around should be pretty easy for you

ok thx man thats what i was about to do hehe =)

From the top remove the four bolts.
On each side, it is held onto the fenders by 3 10mm nuts.
On the bottom you will need to remove the plastic under-peices.

Then just pop it off

i have a 96 and the hardest are the ones conected with the fender ther's not enough space

I just did a 97-99 swap on a 95, here's the run down to make it painless:

1.Remove the corner lights and headlights. Corner lights are held in by one screw and pop off. Head lights are held in on the side by 2x 10mm bolts and one 10mm nut found on the back. Also remove your bumper lights and such.

2. Remove the grill.

3. Remove the rubber gaskets under where the headlights were, there are two, one for each headlight. They are held on with 3x 10mm bolts, take these off.

4. Take off the center retainer that is under where the grill was, held on by 3x 10mm bolts again.

5. Now remove the front part of your wheel well liners, there are 3x 10mm nuts that need to be removed from either side of the bumper. These retainers connect the bumper to the fender. Once you remove the nuts the retainers may fall off, they are just metal pieces that secure the bumper/fender together.

6. Go underneath and remove the 6x 10mm bolts holding the under body guards to the bumper.

Now pull.

That should be it. This is how it was with my 95, but seeing as how the 97 bumper fit, shouldn't be a problem

If you just removed the wheel well liner, or jack the car up, and remove the wheel and wheel well liner, its incredibly easy to get too.

awesome info, thanks, I needed that! My maxima was just in a accident and I'm going to put on a bumper and fender myself.

i think there is possibly gonna be bolts behind grille and headlights as well.

Hey I was just involved in a collision yesterday and I would like to get those headlights from you if you still have them.....

does the mounting bracket assy. also come with them?

dude, this thread is 2 years old.........
