Removal of Rear Impact Absorber Beam

Model: Mazda Cx 7 MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Rear bumper

To remove the impact absorber beam located under the rear bumper, you must first remove the bumper itself. Start by removing the rear lights to access the clips located directly under the light housing. Unscrew the screws along the edges of the bumper, inside the wheel arch, then unclip it from the sides and remove it completely (it is like a shell covering). At this point, you can access the impact absorber beam fixed with pins: simply unscrew them to complete the removal.
