7.1 Remove Plastic Backing Plate
• Remove plastic backing plate from bumper reinforcing bar. This backing
plate is secured with two plastic rivets which can be removed by tapping
out the center section. (see Fig. 7.1).
7.2 Adjust Mounting Tabs
• Locate inboard and outboard bumper bar mounting tabs on vehicle
frame (see Fig. 7.2). These are the large mounting points that secure
the bumper reinforcing bar.
• Using vise-grip type pliers gently bend the outboard tabs forward so they
are aligned with front face of AC condenser (see Fig. 7.3). These tabs
are easy to bend and the bend does not need to be exact, as the tabs will
conform to the angle of the bumper reinforcing bar spacers when tightened.
• Bend inboard tabs back so they are parallel with front face of AC con-
denser (see Fig. 7.3).
