I want to remove the rear bumper on my 1989 Chevy S10 Blazer and either a) try to hammer out the dents or b) replace with a new bumper in better condition (i.e. less dents). This is all the Haynes Manual has to say about the Rear Bumper: "The rear bumper simply attaches to the frame with nuts and bolts. When installing, torque the large bumper-to-frame bolts to 77 ft. lbs. and the smaller brace nuts and bolts to 20 ft. lbs.". That's about it....no diagram or anything. It appears that the bumper itself is mounted to a bracket which in turn is mounted to the frame. Are the bolts easy to get to? Where are they located? Also, any additional tips on my "bumper rehab project" would be appreciated. Thanks!
