How to service the rear bumper cover on 2006 Ford Explorer?

The service procedure for Explorer and Mountaineer rear bumper covers starts by detaching the taillamp assemblies followed by the removal of two rear bumper bracket bolts before tightening them back to 11 Nm (8 lb-ft). The procedure requires owners to first remove both the two rear bumper bracket bolts and next the nine bumper cover pin-type retainers. Disengage the rear parking aid sensor electrical connector only when it exists in the vehicle. Do not twist the rear bumper cover when removing it to prevent damage since you need to lift the outer corners upward followed by pulling the cover straight up and out. The necessary components should be transferred before finishing the installation through the reversal of removal steps.
