    Do you guys have any tricks on how to remove bumpers quickly? I was working on a new Malibu and the only way to get it off is to get a honking long extension to remove the bolts from underneath. Also, can you recommend a combination set of fasteners?

    Thanks,

    I’m afraid that’s just the GM way, 100 bolts to keep the bumpers on. Usually a handfull of 10 mm bolts & a few push clips.What bumper are you taking off, front or rear?

    As a mobile painter I don’t fully remove the bumper but want to be able to loosen it enough to scuff the normally inaccessible areas. From what I have seen, the Jeeps are hard too. They all seem to have rivets in the wheel wells holding it together.
