taking off the front bumper and removing A/C stuff

[Chrisdaman]

anybody done this, i need to remove my bumper to take off the A/C condenser and the hosing. Anything else i need to take look out for when taking off the a/c hosing, i'm leaving the compressor in at the moment, cos thats what the charger is replacing

Cheers
Chris

yup, easy to do

watch for your original rad being corroded & only being held together by the air con rad.....

Bumper is easy to take off - pop out the indicators, remove grill, disconnect the the foglights, undo the screws that attach the liner to the bumper, then the torxhead bolts near the head lamps and another 2 bolts in the lover grill near the number plate - the bumper should pull off.

You need to discharge the AC system - you can do this by simply cutting an AC pipe - you may as well take a break at this stage as it'll produce clouds of smoke which you dont want to breathe in

The rest of the gubbins comes out real easy, upto the bulkhead
