Rear Bumper?

I was going to remove the rear bumper to get it repainted, and was looking at
removing it. It looks like i have drop the fuel tank to get at the 4 bolt heads! Is this correct or is their an easier way to get the bumper off?

2 feet of extension on a 1/2 inch 20 inch breaker bar.


That does the trick. May need a wobble extension


and a really hard pull



I did it on this page:

It sounds like the hitch comes out with the bumper assembly?

They're separate. You can see the four clean holes in the frame in this picture. Need a long cheater bar to get 'em loose. Try not to mess up the bolt locks, else you'll have to really work.

thanks for the info! I was afraid if i tried to loosen those they would turn where
no wrench would fit! After the paint job, im going to extend the rear bumper so its not 1/2 under the rear doors!
