2014 Mazda 3 Bumper Removal
Tools needed;
Flat head
8mm socket
10mm socket
Common sense.
Red Circle = Unscrew
Green Circle = Pop out with a flat head
Blue Circle = 10/8mm socket.
0.5) Open Hood
1)
Do 2 blue circled sockets first
2)
Lift up air scoop and pop out.
3)
Pop out 3 push pins in the wheel well. Don't even need to turn wheel.
4)
Use screw driver (or 8mm socket, up to you) to remove bolt inside bumper.
5)
Pull out both sides of the bumper.
6)
Go under car with 8mm socket, remove all 9 bolts. 3 per plastic tray.
You can see 5 here circled in blue and 1 push pin in green (and added bonus for 2014's)
Don't forget about the other pushpin that is not in the picture.
7)
Pull down both corners of the middle skid plate and pull out these push pins.
8)
Pull on the bumper to get it off. And I mean... you really gotta pull. This sucker has clips holding it in that you have to over power.
Seen here.
9)
Undo turn signal clips. (And fog light clips if included)
Done.
