Wagon bumper removal

Hi
Can anyone give me a clue how to remove and replace the bumper on a VN wagon? Any tips on replacement to as it is not properly fitted now and I would like it to go back on right.

2 bolts behind reflectors. be careful pulling them off, as not to break the clips. very carefully push down on the clips with the tail lights out.

one bolt inside spare wheel area and one under car on drivers side.

slide it off towards back of car, reverse procedure to put it on, remember to line up the side clips good

well, lay something down under the rear of the car to stop the bumper getting scratched on the ground(if you'on cement or something harsh) lay the bumper down just in front of the car. start by sliding one side on, i usually do the drivers side first, being plastic, the bumper can move around without breaking. ok, so one side will slide on, maybe not properly, but if its staying up without holding it, thats a start.

now, other side, slide it on properly, make sure the clip goes in top and bottom. line up bolts on the reo to the car chassis, then make sure other side is in right. bolt it all up, done.

Yep 10 out of 10 - that's how I get the bar on my VN wagon by my self.
