[Shiny]

I started removing the rear bumper and I'm not enjoying it. Yes, a lift would make it easier but that would be someone else's garage.

Book said leave the bumper fastened to the brackets and remove the brackets from the body.

Is this truly the easiest way?

This bolt at the top of the bracket is hard to reach. I finally got it started with a ratcheting box-end wrench, but so far, it's two clicks at a time. Any magic tool out there to make it easier?



If you have done this on your back with the car on jackstands, how did you support the bumper when you removed all the bolts? Any clever ideas for wiring or strapping it to make it a one-person job?
