I bought the tow-hitch receiver but haven't being able to install it because I can't figure out how to take the rear bumper off. I've install everything else in the Frel2 but can't figure this one out. Hope you can help!!!

Hi rovertoo if you go to the land rover website click on owners,learn about your land rover,handbooks and manuals, and that will direct you to the owners information site and in there you will find instructions on how to fit a tow bar and it will show you step by step how to remove the bumper hope this helps

Rover60,
I went to the accesories fitting instructions and went to the towing kit fitting instructions, but those are the same instructions that I have Tell me if I'm not looking at right thing.....I browsed through the whole website but I couldn't find anything on how to take the rear bumper off.
Thanks

Start at the front remove front bumper ,engine,gearbox, bulkhead, seats and so on until all you have left is a rear bumper

It would be quicker to get someone to hold the rear bumper and remove the car  Freelander 2 - SE

J T,

Thanks for the info....this is gold!!! I still haven't started with the project.... I just moved and have been taking care of other stuff, but as soon as I have some time I'll put that hitch..

I'll post pics.

Thanks

No problem,

I didn't have to raise the car or take the wheels off.

The only other thing I have missed out was the template for the bumper cut.

Why do the under wheel arch mud guards need removing though?

And my big question... When all the screws and bolts are out, how does one actually remove the bumper?

Is it by bending the bumper away from the rest of the body or is there another hidden bolt not shown...

You see that I have arrived thus far, but am a bit stuck: I am frightened of breaking something.

I found out that you don't need to remove the mud guard, but there are two screws behind it that need to be removed.

Does anyone have any advice for the front bumper?

Cheers.
