plastic Bumper

• STEP 3 Pull off the cover on each side of the bumper and unplug the sensors by spreading the sensor bezel tabs apart, which will release the tension and allow you to easily push back the sensors. (Make sure to keep track of the position/orientation of the parking sensors so that you can install them in the same position/orientation on your new bumper)
• STEP 4 After the sensor have been removed squeeze the black sensor bezel tabs together, which will allow them to pull forward off the bumper. Keep track of the position/orientation of each sensor bezel so that you can install them in the same position/orientation on your new bumper.
• STEP 5 Remove plastic cover then unbolt the three bolts that hold the OEM bumper in place with a (15mm socket).
• STEP 6 After the OEM bumper has been removed cut the D-rings Flush with the bracket to gain clearance for the ADD Krawler using a (grinder/cutoff wheel) and use (black spray paint) to prevent rust.
• STEP 7 There is a metal plate held in place by eight bolts, four on each side. This plate needs to be removed to access the wiring harness, Then remove wiring harness from the OEM bumper by disconnecting the fog light, then pulling out all the tabs that secure the harness in place.

• STEP 15 Use a pair of needle nose pliers to spread open the tabs on each side to pop out the fin that is attached to the shutter motor.
• STEP 16 Use a flat head screw driver and pry out the fin from the plastic side piece that holds it in place. Then pull it directly out from the shutter motor.
• STEP 17 Use a flat head screw driver and press into the tabs that hold the shutter motor into place. There are three spots that need to be pressed down with the flat head to break it loose. Start with the top then pry the bottom out last.
• After the shutter motor has been released disconnect the plug and pull the wiring through the opening. After the shutter motor has been taken out from the plastic guard, find a spot on the bronco to zip tie it in place.
