    Angry 850 estate rear bumper removal?

    does anyone know how to remove the rear bumper from an 850 estate............i've removed the 5 screws from underneath and the 2 bolts either side ...........the bumper is loose but still seems to be held on along the top edge but i can't see any fixings there................is it just stuck along the top or are there hidden fixings somewhere?..............as usual your help is much appreciated

    I havent removed one before, but i think the painted panel below the rear lower tail lights is attached to the bumper.

    Also the Rear arch liner will be rivit'ed to the bumper.

    the way i removed my rear bumper was to undo the wheel liner fixings,undo the two side fixings on the bumper then undo the two bumper reinforcer mounts/long bolts (prob need to drop backbox off its rubber mounts to get the near side) the bumper then is removed with the bar inside.bar is held in to bumper with torx/hex fixings

    hope this helps

    The annoying thing about the 2 LONG bolts is theres no access to squirt wd40 or such into to help. It really is a case of firm but gently, wind the bolts out a little, wind them back in a bit, out more in a little. make sense?
