Ive already searched for some answers and found only half of what i needed. I know where all the bolts are and have removed 3 on either side that attach to the fender. But how the hell do i get to the last one at the very top of where the bumper meets the fender? superedit: its a 93(chuki) if that makes a difference. ---

Clerly the front bumper dude. You’ll need a 4-6" extension. Or a flexible head ratchet. Or both 🙂 ---

ive removed the skidplate and splash guard already. its just that last bolt connecting the bumper to the fender that i cant get to. its behind the headlight housing and i cant reach it from under because there isnt enough space to get my hand in. its a front bumper fyi. ---

by the way, is the bolt your talking about like facing up ^ if thats the one that one stays on, it holds on the metal bar that runs across the front of your car. if they are horizontal then you need to take em off. dont forget the four on the top tho i have seen so many people do it. ---

you sure you only saw 4 bolts in there? there’s 5 on each side that go between the fender and bumper IIRC. and to get the top one you just use a long extension, sometimes you need a swivel end, like was said before. ---

i could just be smoking crack again, but i’m pretty sure that there are 5, i remember one of them is hard to see, though that could just be the one you’re talking about. ---

There are 5. Just stick your hand inside and feel around. Put the socket on it securely so it doesn’t fall. Then attach your extension, then attach your socket (swivel head is teh best for this). Loosen bolts. Enjoy. ---

i’m not sure why you can’t get the bolt, just put a socket on an extension and get it onto there, don’t try to put the socket on with your hand, then put the extension into the socket. you can do it with the shitty air box still in there. but remove it while you have the bumper off anyway, it’s not needed.
