There are two ten mm bolts that hold up the two corners of the bumper followed by a dozen or so push pin type plastic clips remove the two tens and pull the centers out of all the plastic clips and remove the lower halves, the bumper then has a plastic bracket on each side that if pulled straight back will slide right off, as for the sheet metal reapir you can either buy a cheap bodymans slide hammer and drill and pull where it needs or if there is damage to the bumper rebar ( metal bar under cover) you can get a ratcheting "come along" and set the ebrake and chain the other end to a tree, and pull it that way .sounds like you may even be able to use a big sledge hammer and knock the trunck back out also -jeff

    if the trunk is that bad i would bring it to a body shop and have them put it on a frame machine and straighten out the trunk for you or they could install a new trunk pan but that's all very involved for someone with little or no collision repair experiance you could also consider putting it thru your insurance if you have that type or coverage a $500 deductible is allot cheaper than a few thousand in repair bills please rate -jeff

2006 Avalon, How can I remove tail light assembly?

This is not as easy a process as you might think. There are three nuts in the trunk behind the garnish, but the harder part is there are two bolts behind the rear bumper. You have to remove the rear floor finish plate from the trunk and then the bumper and then you will see the two bolts that hold on the taillight assembly.

How do you remove the rear bumper for a 2005 chevy express I tried youtube videos but nothing came up.

Most van bumpers are usually mounted from either underneath or inside the trunk. It can depend on whether it is an impact bumper or just a decorative over cover. It will probably be bolted through the rear floor or through the rear skirt panel fixed from the inside, under the body. Some are even bolted directly to the chassis rear end.

How to remove rear bumper for my 95 honda accord

Under the rear wheel wells, along the edge near the back is a screw. There is one on mine but there be more than one. Remove the screws for each.

After this, pop the rear trunk and look along the edge of the trunk right where the trunk hood meets the trunk itself. There are three black plastic screws that hold the rest of the rear bumper to the frame. I don't know exactly how these screws work but they don't just unscrew - I had to pop them out with a screw driver instead of rotating them out. Once those are out the rear bumper will lift up and off. There are some hooks along the rear wheel well where you removed the screws - you need to lift and pull out these edges, then lift the entire rear bumper off from the middle of the rear bumper.

Once you've done this, it goes pretty easily. If you have no problem with removing the black plastic screws or unhooking the edges, it should come off in less than five minutes.

Lexus ES300 trunk leaks when it rains

This may sound odd but if you can put a small person in the trunk with a flashlight while you pour water in the areas suspected, they can trace the leaking area, believe it or not I used to use this method while I was a Ford mechanic. Otherwise, maybe you can apply clear or black silicone to the area or remove the screw or bolt and coat it with silicone and replace it.

Replacement of rear outside tail light assembly

If you're asking how do you change a taillight bulb, then follow this procedure:

Open the trunk lid.

Disconnect the connectors from the taillights (taillight bulb connectors are visible by looking inside the trunk at the back of the tail lamps.) There may be an interior trunk trim panel that you have to take off but in most cases its just a series of thumb screws that hold them in.


Brake Lights/Taillights: 21/5 W

Rear Turn Signal Light: 21 W

Back-up Light: 21 W

Rear Side Marker Light: 5 W


Turn the bulb sockets 45 º counterclockwise to remove the bulbs.


If you're removing the taillamps with the bumper off there are 3 nuts and screws that hold the taillight to the rear panel of the car that have to come off from the inside of the trunk.
Remove the nuts and screws, then remove the taillight.

hope that answers your question
