O.K. If the plastic piece is the bumper cover then is the metal peice the bumper? Or is the whole assembly the bumper? And last but not least how much would shoud a used oem metal peice cost? (For a third gen Max)

 

Metal piece is "Bumper Reinforment" and plastic is "Bumper Cover" they're both sold separately. OEM used at junk yard is roughly 25-35 for EACH. I got mine new at http://certifit.com/ and its the biggest POS because the metal is like a coke can, super thin and flimsy and doesnt hold my fogs without them vibrating.

Page 176 is for 3rd gen.

 

Thanx I've heard that before o.k. I had a guy come looking for one today after he paid me for some headlights, marker lights and a grill he ask me how much I wanted for that peice. I never sold that peice b4 so I didn't know. When my truck man comes and hauls away my carcuses that peice is usually the last thing I see when the truck rounds the corner. lol.

 

i have heard of it called a re-bar too.

 

Those big bolts on the ends of the "re-bar" are a pain 2 come out. I had to get pole about ten feet long and put it on end of the rachet get them loose.

 

Used an Impact with no probs

 

I just torched them up for like 5 min each on my g.fs max and used a 12in pipe on the breaker bar and they came loose.

On my car I used my 375lb torque impact and I wasnt able to get it out. used breaker bar and like before and couldnt. I just went to Car X by my house...the guys there were bored and gave me a hand with their tools. Got the bolts out after 10 minutes of trying, in exchange they asked for a 12pack of Heineken which I brought after putting car back together
