About to pull off rear bumper- what tools needed
I am getting a rear bumper at the junk yard and don't want to lug tools (they think I steal parts and hide them in my toolbox). SO can anyone tell me what size bolts I need, and other assorted tools that may help? Thanks!

I believe an 11mm socket to get to the stamped nuts that are on the inside lower quarter panels. You'll have to remove all of the interior panels in the rear to get to them.
Also, remove the taillights, and you'll see fasteners on top that have a pin in the middle. You'll need some good pliers (or sidecuts) to grab on them and pull the center "wedge" out. Some may be tricky, but try not to break off the plastic because they WILL come out. There are several on top and several on the bottom.
Its an easy job that shouldn't take more than 1/2 an hour.
