very simple to take the bumper off. start at the wheel wells and take the fender covers off.(clips/screws) This allows access to the screws that hold the bumper on from the wheel wells. Then go under the front end and take the clips/screws off. Just go at it, it isn't that bad at all. Probably all I used was a 7mm ratchet, stubby screwdriver, flathead. And if replacing anything start with junkyards.
