2 Answers
The method for removing the front bumper of the Yidong is as follows: 1. First, open the hood and remove the screws and clips on the hood's bumper. 2. Use a 10cm wrench to remove the screws and clips at the edges of the front bumper near the left and right front wheels. 3. Remove the clips at the bottom by prying up the center of the clips with a sharp screwdriver, then pull them out to detach. 4. Use tools to remove the remaining screws. 5. Gently pull the bumper outward by hand to remove it. Additional information: 1. The car bumper (anti-collision beam), located in most areas at the front and rear of the vehicle, is designed to prevent external damage from affecting the vehicle's safety system and has the ability to reduce injuries to occupants during high-speed collisions. Nowadays, it is increasingly designed for pedestrian protection. 2. A plastic bumper consists of three parts: an outer panel, cushioning material, and a crossbeam. The outer panel and cushioning material are made of plastic, while the crossbeam is formed by stamping cold-rolled thin plates about 1.5mm thick into a U-shaped channel. The outer panel and cushioning material are attached to the crossbeam, which is connected to the vehicle frame's longitudinal beams with screws, allowing for easy removal.
Removing the Changan Eado front bumper is something I've done a few times before, and it feels pretty straightforward as long as you have the right tools ready. First, park the car on level ground and engage the handbrake—safety first. Turn off the engine and remember to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid any short-circuit mishaps. Next, locate the bumper's mounting points: there are several screws inside the front wheel arches, which you can remove using a Phillips screwdriver or a socket wrench. Under the plastic trim along the hood edge, there are hidden clips—just pry them open with a flathead screwdriver. There are also a few screws underneath; you might need to crouch down to access them. Once everything is loosened, gently pull the bumper toward the rear of the car. Avoid yanking it forcefully to prevent damaging the clips. When it’s partially free, don’t rush to remove it completely—first check for any wiring connectors for the fog lights, pinch the tabs, and unplug them. I’ve managed to do it alone in about 20 minutes, after which cleaning or replacing parts becomes much easier. Just be careful, as the bumper edges can scratch easily—use a soft cloth when handling it. As for tools, a screwdriver, wrench, and flashlight should suffice. If you’re unsure, you can always find an Eado bumper removal tutorial online to follow along.
