The bumper COVER can be replaced very easily with the correct tools (the actual bumper is located underneath the bumper cover). I used a torx driver, a Phillips and and two small sockets to remove my bumper cover. On a 2001 Tribute there are two screws in each of the wheel wells, one at the top of the bumper cover and one at the bottom that you need to remove. Then remove the four torx screws located under the lift gate and the bolts holding on the two pads. Underneath there are 4 connectors that are removed by backing out the screw in the middle and then pulling out the connector.
Be sure that all the edges are free and you have not missed any connections.
At this point the only thing holding the bumper cover on are two guide pins on either side of the vehicle. You can remove the cover by sliding it to the rear over the guide pins until it is free (about 3-5 inches).
The actual BUMPER is now exposed and can be removed by removing the bolts that hold it on.
To replace the parts just reverse the above procedure.
Most any auto parts store can sell you a repair manual for around $25 that will show the details of how to do this and many other things.
