You'll also need at least a 10 in socket wrench extender. There is a bolt that goes from the bumper into the inside of the fender. You can only get a really long socket wrench into it.

Also, when you're removing the 2 bolts on the bottom of fender right near the jack point be very careful not to shear off the bolts. I did it on 3 of the bolts for the fender and had to drill them out. Coulda been becuase it was like -10 below 0 out but whatever.

Good luck

you also need to get some lock/push bolt plastic things to replace the ones that you have to take out. but, it is easier to get these after the fact since you can bring them with you to autozone or wherever and match them up. This is on the front bumper. That was the worst part about taking the bumper off.. and those little bolts that were previously mentioned. If I remember correctly, I removed the sidelights in order to get to those bolts.

if you take off the tire YES but the factory trunk jack should do the job.

I didn't jack mine up to take the front bumper off. You will have to get under the front of the car though

A Chilton manual might come to your benefit.
