I've gotten a little paint happy...probably from the fumes. I want to freshen up my bumper due to spider webbing and PO's bad patch job repair ( globbed paint over it ).

Can someone tell me a step-step rundown on how to remove the bumper on a '86 GT

Thanks in advance

Been a little while.
1. remove rear tail-lamps--take out black tabs where trunk closes then phillips screws
2. remove the top rivits that hold the rear facia on under the tail lamps
3. remove both side makers in the rear
4. remove the bolts screwed through the little holes --under the markers
5. remove or loosen at least the back 1/2 of the inner wheel well inserts
6. remove the rivits on the bottom of facia
7. if I didn`t forget anything your done..

Cool, that SOUNDS fairly simple.. we shall see.

a fork (like ya eat with) get a metal one, use it for step two (worked best for me)

Tried a screwdriver...no good....tried pliers...not bad...the fork did the trick... hopefully my wife doesn't notice it missing

thanks for the tip!!
