Hey guys/gals! Wanted to know where the bolts/fasteners are to remove the front bumper on an 89 ST? Thanks.
Back bumper bolts are in the truck/hatch area. Four rubber covers(at least they may have started life rubber) Just remove and take off with a 14mm. Should be two on either side of the spare tire well. Front Bumper is a pair of 17mm bolts. They are long and go from the bottom of the bumper up. Can be seen with the grille removed. They are located to the inside of the tow hooks behind the bumper. Can't miss them. Make sure to spray down with some penetrating lub before trying to break them free if they are rusty. You may have to remove the corner lights to see if the front bumper is attached to the fenders at the sides at all. I know mine were, but I also have an alltrac with the factory body kit.
Some pics http://www.st162.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=3828 Undo the sides of the spoiler in front of the wheels, undo the 2 17mm bolts under the front bumper and slide it forward, don't need to touch the lights or grille
