Replacing the front bumper......easy?

I got into an accident today with a young high schooler driving a Ford Escort wagon.

The only visible damage I had was that my front bumper's license plate was ripped off and had some scrapes, etc. Only God knows if my tranny was affected.

Is it relatively easy to swap the front bumper on a 91 SE?

go from one side and take off every bolt around the bumper. work your way around. then the cover should slip off. if u want the entire assembly out you can unbolt the metal bracket off the frame to get the entire deal out.

Make sure everything lines up right. I had a friend who redid his once and after he was finished it was just a little off and left a gap between the bumper and the car on one end. He rushed it though so just take your time and make it come out nice.
