3. Jack up the front of the car, place it on jack stands and, after unscrewing the mounting bolts, remove the front wheels.
4. Disconnect the front part of the mudguard, see the corresponding chapter.
5. Unscrew the hex nuts 10 on both sides of the bumper (see illustration 4.0a).

Installation
The front bumper is installed in the reverse order of its removal.
Attention! The shock absorber, which softens the impact during a collision, is self-adjusting in height relative to the cross member. For this reason, the front bumper is automatically held in a given position at the desired height after screwing in the Allen key head bolts.
