    dont know what the pop rivets are there for, but there were none on my mates. There bolts are on the inside should be near where the boot latch catches on the beaver panel, might be some on bumper ends on inside 1/4 panels but not sure, shouldnt be hard to take a bumper off mate. Just pull on parts on bumper to see where its being held on by and find the bolts

    get a drill that is same size as the head of the pop rivet and drill slowly - itll just take the head off then and slide out easily

    Hey MAC,

    The first thing that I would normally recommend before starting a DIY job on a car would be to obtain a workshop manual and research the required job.

    But in your case that would be a waste of time because after reading your posts, I doubt that you can read.

    At least it was just the bumpers you were attempting to remove and not the cylinder heads.

    Here's hoping that that's the end of your 'do it yourself' repairs. For the sake of the safety of you, your passengers and the public at large.

    Get a car Manual, it will help alot, there is heaps of information in there even the smallest things, good to know you got the bumpers off , sometimes you just have to be self taught.
