Last time I removed the bumper of my Baojun 730 myself to replace a small damaged section. First, I had to prepare the tools: a Phillips screwdriver, plastic pry bar, and possibly a wrench. Open the hood, and you'll see some screws securing the upper edge of the bumper, about six to eight in total—use the screwdriver to remove them one by one. Then, crawl under the car to locate the bracket bolts at the lower part of the bumper and loosen them. There are also hidden screws inside the wheel arches, so take your time to find and remove them. The bumper is held in place by plastic clips, so gently pry open the gaps with the pry bar and slowly pull it away. Be extra careful not to yank it forcefully, as the car might have radar wires or fog light wiring connected—remember to disconnect the plugs beforehand to avoid damage. During my removal, one of the clips had aged and broken, so I used a heat gun to soften it slightly before prying it open, which worked quite well. The whole process took me about 40 minutes. For beginners, I recommend taking it slow and watching some online video tutorials first. When reinstalling, align the clips properly, press them gently into place, and then tighten the screws to prevent loosening and ensure safety.
Removing the Baojun 730's bumper is actually quite straightforward once you're familiar with the process. First, ensure the vehicle is parked securely, then open the hood to remove the approximately six cross-head screws at the top of the bumper. Next, carefully locate and remove the two to three fixing screws inside the wheel arches. Also, loosen the bolts connecting the lower grille at the bottom of the car. The main body of the bumper is held by clips; gently pry them open from the gaps using a plastic pry tool, being careful not to apply too much force to avoid cracking the plastic. Pay special attention to the wiring harness—if there are connectors for front cameras or radar, disconnect them first to prevent wire damage. After removal, inspect the clips for integrity; if they're aged, have replacements ready to avoid delays. I always carry a toolkit with screwdrivers and pry bars when working on cars—the whole process can be completed within twenty minutes. However, always test all functions before reassembly to ensure driving safety.
