Q: How to replace the front bumper fascia on Chevrolet Malibu?
A: Beginning the front Bumper fascia replacement requires you to first uninstall right and left front wheelhouse panel splash shields followed by eliminating the fender to fascia retainers. Moving on with the process involves taking out both top fascia retainers along with the five retainers situated on the fascia bottom. The lamps should be disconnected from the sidemarkers before the fascia is separated from its attachment to the impact bar. When installing replace the fascia by connecting it to the impact bar and then repositioning the lamps to the sidemarkers. Use two retainers on top of the fascia then install five retainers on its bottom side. Safely attach the fender to the fascia retainers while torquing bolts up to 10 n.m (89 lb in) and then re-fit the left and right front wheelhouse panel splash shields.

Q: How to replace the end gate (utility) bumper on Chevrolet S10?
A: Begin repair of the end gate (utility) bumper by taking out one lower side bumper bolt independently to stop the backing plate from entering the body. First remove the upper side bumper bolt which enables side bumper and spacer rotation (if equipped) and then reposition the lower side bumper bolt for backing plate installation. Once you finish with the upper side bumper bolt you should also remove the spacer (if equipped) and the side bumper. Start by attaching the side bumper after the spacer if included then move onto the upper side bumper bolt installation. After rotating the lower side bumper bolt to line up its threaded hole you should remove and reposition the side bumper and spacer (when present) to fit into the threaded hole of the backing plate. After aligning the threaded lower side bumper bolt hole with the backing plate, fasten it with a torque of 22 N.m (16 lb ft).
