YOU CAN NOT REMOVE THE GAS TANK UNLESS YOU REMOVE THE BUMPER. THERE ARE NUTS LOCATED ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SEAM WHERE THE BUMPER MOUNTS UP TO THE BODY. 10MM NUTS. YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THE NUTS AND START REMOVING. YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE LISCENSE PLATE TO ACCESSS THE NUTS NEAR THAT AREA. UNHOOK ELECTRICAL TO BULBS ON THE WAY.

The front bumper is pretty easy to take off, as long as the bolts arent rust fast. The first bolts to take out are the ones holding the bumper guards in place they are down under the fiberglass felance. Then unbolt the two side bolts, then unbolt the two center bolts.

You can remove it in the same process as most other car bumpers. First Remove the splashguard bolts attached to the bumper. Open the hood , remove the headlights. Underneath you will find metal brackets that hold the bumper. Remove remaining bots on the top and underside of the bumper and eh presto. If you are really asking this though i suggest you leave it to a professional or someone more experienced.

How do you replace a front bumper on a 1991 Ford Taurus?

If you crawl under the front of the car you should see two bumper mounts these look like a tube with a flat metal plate on either end. One plate is bolted to the bumper and the other is bolted to the radiator support. The bumper mounts are a shock absorber, so be aware that if these have been compressed too far due to damage they may need to be repalced (one or both) to get the bumper to line up evenly. The plate on the bumper mount that attaches to the bumper has 2-4 bolts that go through it into the bumper. Simply remove these and the bumper will come off. I suggest you loosen all of them first, then remove all but one from each mount. This will prevent the bumper from falling off prematurely. Then get someone to support the bumper while you remove the remaining bolts. Be aware that if you have the turnign lights in the bumper you need to unplug the lights from the bumper before you remove it. If you do not have an assistant, you can unbolt the bumper mount from the radiator support rather than from the bumper. It will stay in the radiator support even with all the bolts removed. Then once you have unbolted the mounts you cna climb out from under the car and pull the bumper straight out from the car and it will come out. Then if you are re-using the mount unbolt them and bolt them loosely to the new bumper. For either method get the bumper back up on the car (bolt the mount firmly to the radiator support if you removed it. Then lift and adjust the bumper until you have it lined up the best you can, and tighten one bolt per side to keep it in place. Then go back and tighten the other bolts.
