Removal of rear bumper
Maxes,
I have a fist sized dent on my corner left side rear bumper. I can get to it from underneath the car, but there's not enough room to push the dent back out. I am thinking if I remove the bumper then I should be able to knock out the dent. Does anyone here know how to remove the rear bumper on a 5.5? (Or any suggetions on how to fix the dent w/o removing the bumper)? I see this exact dent on other Maxes, and guess it happens at parking lots etc. I'll try knocking it out from its outer side as 2 local members suggested, but I fear removal of bumper is necessary. Thanks for any help!

Go down to your local auto parts store and get yourself that ding king kit. It is $20.00 and should work to get the dent out for you. Something in my garage fell on the roof of my car and put a grapefruit sized dent in it. The Ding King Kit completely removed it.
