What happens here

The host proceeds to loosen six bolts on the vehicle's frame where the bumper is attached. He emphasizes using the 'lefty loosey' rule. He clarifies that after loosening these bolts, the bumper will not fall off but will have some play, allowing for easier manipulation during hitch installation. The bolts are 18mm in size.

Goal: With the spare tire removed, use an impact wrench or ratchet with an 18mm socket to loosen the six bolts securing the rear bumper to the vehicle's frame. The bumper will remain supported by other mounting points.

Tools and materials

  • 18mm Socket
  • Impact Wrench (or Ratchet)
