Mazda 3 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda 3 BK, MK 1 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Front bumper
Operation: How to replace the front bumper

Has your bumper been dented, scratched or even cracked? Replacing it is much simpler than expected: the only tools you will need to do this are a screwdriver and a screwdriver. The first step is to unscrew the screws that hold the internal plastic support of the wheel arch to the bumper, on both sides. Then with the bolt unscrewing wrench you have to remove the 10 mm bolts that secure the bumper to the car body, positioned under the car body. Inside the plastic support of the previously disassembled wheel arch, there is an additional bolt: this too must be unscrewed with a 10 mm wrench. By opening the engine hood, it is possible to access two additional bolts that hold the upper part of the bumper to the body, flanked by two plastic pins; the last two pins to be removed are located on the inside of the bumper, attached to the shock bar of the frame. At this point the bumper is completely removed from the bodywork, you just have to be careful to disconnect any wiring with the fog lights if the car is equipped with them.
