After deciding to paint rather than treat the faded bumpers on all three 740s we keep, I'd like to find out the easiest way to remove both front and back bumpers. I have decided that the fasteners must be replaced after forcing them from thier positions but I don't really know what will happen next. Will the next step be obvious or is there an orderly and proper way to attack this seemingly easy job. I'm working on an '89 745Ti, a '91 740 and a '90 740 GL. Due to a small bump into a light standard, I'll also try to replace the Turbo's front bumper and shocks. Then paint the cover. I've gone to the archives but I haven't found any real step X step intruction for this job. Any help would be appreciated.

    When I painted the bumpers on my '90 745, I just removed the whole bumpers. There were two bolts holding each side of each bumper to the "shock absorber" mounts. After removing these, the front bumper just slid forward and off. The rear bumper also had one or two bolts(I don't remember which) on each forward end that had to be removed. Access to these was by removing the floor panels inside the car(the ones that just pull up). Not a difficult job, but much easier with two people.

    The bumper covers are held in place with nuts accessed from beneath (740 to 1990), plastic rivets under a molding cover (940 some models) or screws. You have to look at the installation to find out what they used. If plastic rivets were used, just drill out the center post and they will pop right out.
