[W124] Removing rear bumper

[Declan Mc Dermott]

Hi Frank,
It's a year or two now since I removed the rear bumper from my Cab but from 
memory there were two small (10mm) nuts behind each side panel in the boot 
plus two larger ones (13mm ?) on the rear, accessable through two holes in 
the panel. The thing is to get two people to pull on either side and then 
slide the bumper rearwards. I have no memory of any self-tappers, perhaps 
these are somethinf to do with the bodykit.
Best of luck.

Dec Mc Dermott,
Cork.
