can someone please show me with pictures on how to remove the front bumper off a 92 civic si...i cant find it in my haynes manual...thanks a lot...

Andrew

 

1. Pop Hood - Take out the 5(?) screws there.
2. Remove wheel well plastic closest to bumper
3. There will be a normal phillips head screw on each side of bumper where it connects to the fender.
4. If it doesn't pull off now, then go under the car and there should be some plastic screw that need to be taken out because there is plastic screwed to the bumper.

HTH

 

also under the bumper there is two bolts.

 

Yup

5 screws, but they maybe rusted in, which could be a pain.
2 screws, 1 each side under the arches.
2 10mm bolts underneath.

Then the bumper should slide off two location rails

Goodluck!

yeah i got it...one screw was stripped on top so i am kind of sol...

 

what do you do if all the screws on top are frozen solid, drill and re-tap?

 

Just hope you don't grind it away(the top of it, going blank on what its actually called) because those screws are not cheap... especially when you have to buy for the front and the back...

oh yeah... only about $3 for EACH

Dont even try without an impact driver!

Even that didnt work on 2 of the screws in my rear bumper. I just drilled them out. As long as you have like 2 of those cheap *** screws in it'll hold.

 

yeah those screws wana strip SO badly!

you have to be very careful with the pressure you apply to them.
and use the proper sized screwdriver, not too big or too small

but yeah, the bumper will hold just fine with only 3 in there,
and should still work with only 2 even. i'd say 3 to be safe tho

or if your bumper is like mine


3 10 mm nuts on top and 2 zip ties on the side!!

 

hahaha
my bumper is being held on with one screw on the core support and the 2 on the sides
ha
but yea the bumper screws arent that bad to take out
press hard, and push down
they will push back up and come out
thats it
pEaCE

 

or if your bumper was like mine it works with just one screw and one partially in the side. But now I have all brand new screws.

does anyone have the exact price on how much those screws are...i only need one but why not go ahead and get all of them right...i mean ****...the car came from ohio and 3/4 of the screws on my car are rusted and stripped...

I think $2.81. I can check my reciept tomorrow. I bought front and back and everything else to hook the bumpers on. Also bought 2 wheel wells... cost $150 if I remember right...

 

For all you who don't want to pay $4.39 per "special bumper screw", go to Home Depot, grab some screws of the same thread pattern and length with normal 10mm heads on them, get the corresponding washers and do it up. They don't keep your hood from closing, they hold the bumper just fine, are much easier to take out, etc.

I bought stainless ones so they'll never rust themselves frozen, and the best part is that, a month after my brother paid nearly $15 for his, I paid like $.72 for mine which will never be a PITA to remove. But if you want to pay for **** you don't need, be my guest . Honda loves people like you.

 

I couldn't find any that fit right near me

I even checked out home depot and local hardware stores.
