Honda New Accord front bumper removal method: Open the engine cover, there are several clips connecting the front bumper, and the clips connecting the grille also need to be removed. The screws and clips at the bottom should be taken off. Below are the specific details about the Accord: 1. Vehicle positioning: The Honda Accord is a mid-size sedan under GAC Honda, available in both gasoline and hybrid versions. Its length, width, and height are 4893mm, 1862mm, and 1449mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. 2. Configuration: The Accord emphasizes safety performance, featuring a standard VSA system and front seat side airbags. 3. Powertrain: The Accord is equipped with i-VTEC and VTEC engines. The i-VTEC engine combines Honda's VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) technology with VTC (Variable Timing Control) technology that continuously adjusts valve timing across different engine speed ranges, delivering strong torque output and sharp acceleration performance. Through the ECU (Electronic Control Unit), it controls the opening and closing of intake and exhaust valves to maintain optimal combustion conditions, achieving an ideal balance of high power output, low fuel consumption, and clean emissions.
The method for removing the front bumper of a 10th-gen Accord is something I've tried DIY a few times, and overall it's quite simple. First, you'll need basic tools like a Phillips screwdriver, pliers, and a small pry bar ready at hand. Second, crouch in front of the car and carefully inspect beneath the bumper and inside the wheel arches to locate the securing screws and plastic clips—the Accord usually has 5-6 screws here. Loosen and remove them one by one with the screwdriver. Third, gently pry open the clip sections, starting from the wheel arch and slowly moving the bumper toward the center. Be careful not to use excessive force, as there are fog light wires or other sensors inside that could get damaged if pulled too hard. Once removed, lay it flat on the ground to check for any damage. Last time I did this to replace the grille, saving a trip to the repair shop. The whole process takes about 30 minutes—remember to bring a flashlight if it's dim. If you're into modifications, removing it makes upgrading to LED lights or repainting easier, but safety first—beginners should ask a friend for help to prevent slipping.
