How much of a PITA is it to remove, I need to install new headlights and rework the R/H side sheet metal due to a teenager's crash?

the 3 bolts on each side holding the bumper to the fender are a pain in the ass to get to

Not some exterior styling post. fixing a crash is hardly "maintenance". since the front bumper is consitered an "exterior" part of the car, and the sticky which contains the bumper removal how to is here, this is where it belongs. the 3 bolts in the fender arnt bad if you use a good swivel and a couple long extensions. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

A 10mm deep socket will make life easier as well. The bolts are sticking out just long enough to be a PITA. --------------------  |
