I recently sold my EP to a friend and we were trying to removed the front bumper to change out the coolant expansion tank. Can anyone give me a few pointers?

you dont need to remove the push clips on the grill to remove the bumper.

There is 4 attaching the grille to the bumper, and 4 more attaching the bumper to the rad support??
UNless my canadian car is different, wouldnt imagine though.

you only need to remove 4 thats attached to the rad support and the screws on each side. you can leave the grill on and just pull off the bumper once you remove the clips on the top.

edit: if you still have the splash shield on the bottom then yes theres a few more clips to remove.
