REAR BUMPER REMOVAL SCHEMATIC

Would anyone be kind enough to supply me with a schematic of the fixing points of the rear bumper and any advice on removing?
My Tow Hitch (Australian OE LR RAA457) arrived today and refers to the workshop manual for rear bumper
removal. Had a search on the forum but no real explaination other than bending back inside wheel arch guards to access two screws which doesn't sound right.
So any clarification or pictures on this would be greatly appreciated.

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.

So from what I can see the same three fixing points for the rear Mudflaps are all that holding the bar on
at those points, either side, so no need to remove rear wheels and inside splash guards (fingers crossed)???
The rest is pretty straight forward if a little scary pulling ya car apart😱! MY15

Bumper off and on is really easy... 15 minutes each way and once off the towbar & electrics are also child's play. Afterwards, you'd never know the bumper cover had been off.

ETA
You need to remove mudflaps and the ease the outer rear edge of the arch liner away to get to the two hidden set screws on both sides. Wheels and arch liners stay on the vehicle.

there are 2 screws that hold the wheel arch liner underneath one each side,near the tyre, also a plastic type push in clip about the middle at the back,i forget what they call these clips,there might be 2 more screws which are obvious ,I cant remember,but the ones under neath nobody seems to mention,then bend back liners and they will hold back on the tyres.2 bolts behind lamps,also remove tread plate and scrivits under neath,lamps need plastic lever to prise out of clips on out side of lamp you can find more on other forums if necessary,the bumper is also held by clips both outer edges,at the top get some one to hold it while you pull on ends away from ns and os from the sides.dont forget the parking sensor connector on the os :)oh and about 5 screws at the back underneath.

Hi,
Thxs for that detailed explanation Thumbs Up
I take it these are the only two screws/bolts holding the bumper on at the wheel arches that you are referring to? I can see them from underneath the vehicle but access looks far easier by peeling back the wheel arch liner.



So once I've released these two fasteners on either side there is no other fasteners in this area?

I also found this attached to the wheel arch liner in either side! Does anyone now what it's for? Seems to be some sort of sensor?
