Back Bumper

just loosen the 4 srews in your trunk they are under the rubbers...good luck

 

can you say that again? I though there were a ton of small bolt or something. I cant remeber any bolts in my trunk to release the rear bumper

 

You are thinking the bumper skin meph, its held on by a bunch of small rusty bolts.

The bumper itself is held to the frame on the car by bolts, big ones (not screws). They are under the rubber plugs under the carpet. You might need some serious torque to loosen them - say a breaker bar or an impact - they can be quite seized up or rusted.

 

are these the small 1inch holes with rubber plugs im thinking about?

 

your welcome, don't you have any pics of the rust on your car?

 

Good info to have, I may have to do that soon.

 

though on a trac remember to disconnect the rear bumper from the quarter panel extentions.

 

^I'll be doing it to my 89GTS but thanks for the reminder

 

lol i attemped to undo 1 of my bolts , god it is soo tight and i cant even undo it do oh well

might try again later

 

^haha use a bigger breaker bar...

 

be careful though. don't wanna strip the bolts and then never be able to get it off. then you wont be able to get the aeroform kit. then you will have to sell your celica, leave this forum and buy a honda. BUY A HONDA!!!!!!!!! or not :envy:

 

If they are badly seized the weld nuts will break off the bumper support while you're trying to loosen the bolts. So use penetrating lube like WD-40. Spray it on, let it sit a day, spray again, let it sit, then try to loosen the bolts.

 

or buy the honda hahahaha! i have no idea why i said that.! :help:
