Hallo,

wie groß ist der (zeitliche) Aufwand den Heckbumper der C5 abzubauen?

LG Bernd

Ne gute Stunde dürfte ausreichend sein. Bei einem Bier nach jeder Schraube natürlich etwas länger...
Nach der Kuhfuß-Methode gehts aber auch schneller. Das Ergebnis ist dann aber entgültig.

Viel Spaß

Werner macht das wohl in drei Minuten während er noch einen Fächerkrümmer nebenbei einbaut :))

Spaß beiseite, vielleicht hilft dir das:

I did not have to remove the exhaust.

Are you installing a new bumper or repainting the existing one? If you're repainting, the old one only needs to be loosened to get a nice job.

Anyway, here's what I remember....
1) remove rear wheels
2) remove screws into rear bumper which attach rear wheel well to rear bumper
3) disconnect support bar (underneath) bumper side only
4) remove license, tail lights, and side markers (and disconnect plugs)
5) reach in thru tail light holes and remove (or loosen) 10mm nuts

(There is a flange on the bumper AND the rear quarters. Small bolts hold the two flanges together. That's the 10mm nuts you're looking for. Don't remember if you need wrenches on both sides of flange. After you remove the tail lights, you'll be able to feel them.

The job is actually pretty simple. The hard part is you'll be working kinda blind. You can also lay under the rear bumper and see the flange and a couple of bolts if I recall.
