2011 SS Front Bumper Removal - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The top bolt on each side killed me but once I cut those off I can take off the bumper in 10 mins. I pull the wheels just because it makes it easier and only takes a min to jack up the car and remove them.

What this guy says.

It turned out to be pretty simple. I left the tires on and simply turned the wheel to the left and right. It didn't take too long to get it off, change the light and put it back on. I guess a hour and a half of tinkering after getting off of work.

Thanks for your help!

Glad it worked out. Next time (and there ALWAYS is a next time..) it'll go much smoother and faster.

Glad it worked out for you. I’m running 275’s up front with a 5mm spacer so we took the wheels off to make it easier.

Great pics Royal Tiger.

Now I see those pins that slide into the fender holes. I'll be doing this soon too.

I'm running 275s up front too but no spacer and I have yet to remove bumper since mounting the 275s.
