Can't get my dag nam bumper off

[blackk5350]

these things are a pain to get off. i soaked the bolts in pb blaster and ima try to mess with it tommorow any suggestions or pictures. this damn thing is kicking my arse. i need to put my big ranch hand arb bumper on there before my mom throws it away(haha in her garage)

Keep soaking the bolts...and get an impact. I got the one off my '87 Crew Cab that way. Took a little wrangling to get the gun in place on a few bolts, but none broke and they all came out. Never even busted a knuckle!

i had a great painted bumper on a truck i stripped for extra parts for my blazer, i never pulled the bumper cause it was too much of a pain to try and get off......

of the 8 bolts used to hold it on, i twisted 6 off trying to remove the rear bumper off my 86...as for the front bumper, a grinder or saw-all on the head of the bolts works great...

When I took mine off I ended up welding nuts on two of the bolt heads

I had to take my rear bumper off today..i went for the brackets rather than those weird rivet/bolt things in the actual bumper. I still got pretty agitated and torched them off, though. haha. bumpers are not friendly.

Explosives usually do the trick.

Lol...they're actually called carriage bolts...i can only imagine how tuff tha axles/spring/etc bolts r gonna b when i try to swap axles n tha near future...

Man I guess Im lucky , the only bolts that have ever given me trouble were the axel u-bolts...
I also took the bumper brackets off to get mine off.

I had to grind the heads off of a couple of mine.

I just put mine back on, glad I live in Texas, so I don't have to deal with Road salt that just F everything up.

Blazer is 23yrs old with very litte surface rust on chassis from settting so long.
It only had 1 liitle spot on the body,they had to fix, when it was painted.
