How to Remove the Rear Bumper of the Subaru Outback

Model: Subaru Outback BL, BP, MK 3 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Rear bumper

To remove the rear bumper of the Subaru Outback, you must first detach the rear lights by loosening the corresponding screws, which are accessible only by opening the boot of the car. Once the screws are removed, disconnect the lights and pull them out of their housing to access the screws underneath. The other screws to remove are located inside the wheel arches of the rear wheels: when these are also unscrewed, you can completely detach the bumper to replace it with a new one.
