How the hell do you remove the front bumper on an NX?? I've taken every bolt that the FSM says plus some, and it won't budge. (Or should I say "broke" every bolt) :D

Thanks

if you trying to take the front bumper cover off then u need to check inside the fender wells where they meet and on the side where the spoiler catches on(2 bolts on each side) its really not that hard you just have to chase bolts it is all possible with 10mm wrenches/sockets... good luck..

Headlights normally hold ya up - check that out first that was my issue, there is like a lip on the lights that catches the bumper I think... also do make sure you got ALL the screws that connect the fenders to the bumper.

Yeah, it's a pain in the ass, but it can be done. It helps to have small hands. Ditto what Maui says about the headlights; not as much taking it off, but putting it back on and getting the rubber flanges around the headlights to fit right.

Good luck...if you run into any problems, leave a message here or e-mail me at al_knapp@yahoo.com and I'll send ya my phone #.

Did it! It was only like 8 more nuts than the FSM said! There is 6 on each side inside the fender well.( I don't know how Nissan installed the washer fluid resevoir on the passenger side and the airbox on the drivers side- a PITA).

Ripped both of them out so when I re-install it'll be easy!

Its acctually easyer just to pull the fenders off with the bumper...IMHO...Its a PITA, yes. :) Just have something to put it oon so you don't scratch it..
