    I cant get it off. Is it the bolt on the subframe that's holding the bracket in? Spot welded? BFH didnt work, i guess we will have to cut the back of the car off with a cutting torch:dancing:.

    Ahhh, brings back memories...of being 18, laying on my back in my Mom's driveway, trying to get those bolts out of the bottom...I think I was 130 lbs back then, I had no weight to put into it...and they never got changed, I just kept the big bumpers...

    I had a spinner while removing the front bumper. Ended up cutting into the lower rad support. Stupid spinners.

    When I redo my bumpers I'm welding the bolts/brackets to the bumpers themselves. No spinners and no ugly bolt caps on the top of the bumper. Not worried about discoloring the metal, they will be painted/powdercoated anyways.
