The video shows how to remove the front bumper of a 2004 Ford Explorer. This operation can be carried out without the need for a mechanic.

Remove the screws and the central plastic clip that secures the bumper to the headlight mounting panel. Remove the two screws and the clip at the bottom, which anchor the bumper to the inner wing.

Then remove the two 10 millimetre bolts located underneath, which hold the bumper to the radiator support bar. The bumper is now completely loose. Finally, remove the fog lights to extract the bumper.
