Removing rear bumper of 1996 cHev blazer - Blazer Chevrolet Cars & Trucks

Well usually a factory installed bumper has no adjusting slots. Some aftermarket bumpers do so they can fit different models.
I guess you could try it if the brackets are not bent.

Hi there:
Check this Removal Procedure...



1. Remove the rear bumper step pads.
2. Remove the license plate lamps.

Front or rear, I am guessing it is the rear as they tend to get the most abuse and or rust! Start by removing the plastic step guard on the top of the bumper (use a flat ply bar) you will see the four bolts (remove those) and directly inline with those from the underside you will see four more (remove those) your bumper is free, there is one wire connector to release (licence plate lights) and simple lift off the bumper.

ITS IN THE REAR UNDER THE TRUCK YOUNEED THE LUG WRENCH TO GET IT DOWN THERE IS A HOLE UNDER REAR BUMPER WITH A SLOT PUT THE END OF LUG IN IT AND TURN IT THE TIRE WILL COME RIGHT DOWN I HAVE ONE

If the lense has screws in it take them out and remove the lense. If not reach in behind the bumper, turn the socket and pull the socket with the bulb out the back.

you have to take te plastic molding off the inside and then click it and see why it dosent open

Short shoe goes to the front, long to the rear.

you might try a new coil/coil pack, it sounds like your not getting enough spark to the plugs

there is a trim panel on top of rear bumper if you look underneath there are clips that go through metal bumper also there are 4 plastic fasteners that will need to be replaced after removing best to get clips at dealer cheap enough hope this helps ya
