How to Remove the Front Bumper of the JAC Refine S3?
2 Answers
It is recommended not to remove the bumper of the JAC Refine S3 by yourself but to have it removed at a 4S shop. If you must remove it yourself, there is a slot in the middle and on both sides, with two in the middle. Special tools are required to release the slots, and then it can be taken off. Below is relevant information about the bumper: 1. The car bumper is a safety device designed to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle body. 2. Nowadays, the front and rear bumpers of cars not only maintain their original protective functions but also strive for harmony and unity with the vehicle's styling and pursue lightweight construction. 3. Generally, the plastic bumper of a car consists of three parts: the outer panel, cushioning material, and crossbeam. The outer panel and cushioning material are made of plastic, while the crossbeam is formed by stamping cold-rolled thin plates into a U-shaped channel; the outer panel and cushioning material are attached to the crossbeam.
Speaking of removing the front bumper of the JAC Refine S3, I once replaced the fog lights myself. After opening the engine hood, first remove the six fixing screws along the upper edge—a 10mm socket will do the job. The key part is near the wheel arch: turn the steering wheel fully to one side to expose the plastic clips on the inner fender liner, then use a pry bar to remove six or seven clips and one screw. There are also three screws under the chassis guard plate, which are easier to access with a lift or inspection pit. Once all are loosened, two people should work together to pull outward from the clip positions on both sides of the fender, stopping when the clip release sound is heard. Remember to disconnect the fog light and radar connectors first. Lastly, a reminder that the clips are particularly brittle—buy ten spares beforehand to avoid running to the auto parts store like I did when I broke clips during my first attempt.
