Just common hand tools, this would include a metric wrench set and a 3/8" drive complete metric socket set. Air tools would be nice as well to speed the job up.

SOURCE: remove the rear bumper

Removing Prowler Rear Bumpers First remove the four 10 MM bolts holding the trans cooler and drop it down. Support it by attaching one bolt to the lower hole on the cooler frame. This will keep the weight off the lines. This takes two min. and allows easy removal of the elect. lines. Then remove the four bolts on each bumper. The bolts are 13MM and 17MM. You will need a ratchet, sockets, extension and a 13MM open end wrench. If you remove the rear bumpers, you should replace the rear pan with one of the aftermarket ones otherwise you will have big holes staring at the people behind you. Go to prowleronline.com and check the vendors for a couple of options. Maybe you are removeing them to paint and reinstall. Look at this link for some options .. Mine is the 7th post down. http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/014949.html Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Toyota Echo 2004 Hatchback Replace Rear Bumper

There is a screw on each side of the bumper cover at the wheel wells. It should be a 10mm. You might have to move the 1/4 liner over a bit to fond them. After those bolts are removed, you can pull the sides of the cover away from the quarter.

How do you replace a purge valve for 2012 Chevy sonic LT? Is reasonable to do?

It is located under the car near the fuel tank at the rear of the vehicle. It is mounted on a tray with the vapor recovery canister. It is easy to replace, but you need to raise the car to get to it and support it on safety stands, never use a bumper jack or scissors jack. Always support the car with safety stands.

Remove rear bumper from 2012 Dodge Journey

Randall, remove all screw,clips,fasteners securing bumper and then any wiring harness plugs etc. attached to bumper. This is some times a 2 person job, to prevent damage to the bumper, especially when installing. A V-pry tool may be required to remove plastic fasteners easily. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

How do I remove the rear bumper on a 1998 Chevy Express van 1500?

Support the bumper with a jack, disconnect any electrical wires to license plate light, then loosen and remove the bolts that hold the bumper to the frame. Slowly back the jack up and lower it so the bumper can now rest on the floor.

Remove lower rear trim beneath tailgate

Easy. First you need to remove the rear splash guards(the plastic pieces located near the tires)
After that, it should be about 6 bolts/clips and they are located in plain view just standing facing the bumper. Then the bumper pulls right out.

Good luck
