Bumper Cover, Front

The procedure for front bumper cover replacement on Taurus, Sable and Taurus X vehicles requires hoisting the vehicle into NEUTRAL position. The first step requires scrivets' removal from both front bumper cover locations and subsequent front bumper bolts' extraction followed by a 6 Nm (53 lb-in) bolt torque when reinstalling all parts. The next step involves removing the six front bumper cover wheel house screws while installation requires their screws to be tight at 2 Nm (18 lb-in). Remove the electrical connectors of the fog lights together with any existing front side marker lamps. One must unclip the bumper cover from the fender while gently pulling its upper rear end to finish the complete cover removal. Check the bumper cover mounting reinforcements for damage after removal then apply new parts if necessary. The process ends by executing steps that were used to remove the components.
