I always loosen both sides as much as possible, as in pop everything out near under the headlights without having them hang on the ground, then pull from the middle

Yeah, you can do that. It's just a lot easier to have a friend take the other side. It's not a heavy item, just cumbersome.

And I usually lay it on grass to avoid scratching.

I loosen both sides near the headlights, and then pull it away from the front by myself. The reverse, for putting it back on. It's not a 2-man job at all.

But it is easier with two, faster certainly.

Why is this a black and white issue?

Easier with two? Debatable.

More homosexual with two? Yes. As we have proven. Even more

with a threesome? Yes. Again, as we have proven.

Whatever, "garage prose", you guys are so good at things and stuff. I'm super impressed.

It is an easier job with two people, because moving an object of that length is easier with two. Knowing the dimensions and seeing where you're going. Holding the object in a more stable fashion.

And unless you're able to physically teleport from one side of the car to the other, it is faster for a second person to be popping in clips.

It is not rocket surgery, whether it is done by one's self or with a friend, but it is faster and easier with someone else there, even if marginally so.

It's not that big, so holding it by myself is not a problem. I don't know what you're talking about.

And you can stand in the middle and use your wingspan to get both sides at once. Or just work on one side, then go to the other... then get to the middle... then pop it off.

I've done it so many times I don't understand how it's easier with two.

Also, I've removed my front bumper many times myself and it was never a problem. I never thought, "man, this would be easier with two."

I will contend that it is SLOWER with two because you have to account for the time spend fighting with the help.

I know, you're so bad azz. I'm surprised they don't have a Chuck Norris movie about you.

If they did, they could call it Delta Fgt

Also, you can stare dreamily into each others eyes, as you flex your leg muscles in unison.

It's not - I'm just making the case that you dont NEED two people to do the job without scraping, which was how it was written last page. Khoi can do it alone, and so can I.

I'm not saying anyone is a girly man for wanting two people to take it off heh, I just think it's a bit paranoid, and/or you should look at your technique.

Or you may be a girly man.

Or become a true DIYer and go about it with no ***** given. Only about 70% of bolts and fasteners installed on a car are actually needed anyways.

I'm fairly sure one fastener disappears almost every time I take that bumper off lol.
