Hi, I'm considering removing the bumpers to investigate any corrosion? I cannot see any but there is some surface rust around the front cross members inside the engine bay, just needs a brush down and a bit of primer and some paint, unless I unearth any serious corrosion? anyway I'm not very techy so has anyone got any pics of the front/rear bumpers off so can try and see where all bolts are? What size spanners will I need, a list of tools needed would be helpful especially any specific? Thanks for your help

The front one is a 5 min job to remove
A few bolts visible from front removed with socket
There is 2 stability brackets in front wheel arches with small bolts in ( these bolt heads will probably snap off )
But it's not a problem as I've never put mine back in and bumper is fine
Don't know about rear one

Rear one just needs two screws on each side and 4 nuts behind the bumper.

This is the rear nearside mounting point:


These are the front mounting points:

Thanks for your replies Simon and Gasy, photos especially, much appreciated how many bolts on front and rear and do you know what size sockets as I have a not full socket set? Knowing my luck the missing pieces will be the ones I need thanks again

I think the nuts are about 15mm and there are 4 on each bumper. The front stays are probably 10mm and the rear screws are 8mm.

Thanks again, very helpful, much appreciated

the rear bumper are M8 my 97 4x4 required 14mm sockets since replaced by 13mm nuts.
for M8 the Japanese used both 12 and 14 mm in europe 13 was/is? the std.
for M8 on 1 jap bike iv'e seen 12,13 and 14mm nuts.

I think you're right: it was 14mm rather than 15mm. A couple of the rear ones are not too accessible so it can be beneficial to have a ring spanner to get them started.
