The method for removing the bumper of the JAC Refine S3 is to use a special tool to open the slots in the middle and on both sides. Taking the 2020 JAC Refine S3 as an example, it belongs to the small SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4345mm, width 1765mm, height 1640mm, a wheelbase of 2560mm, a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, and a curb weight of 1300kg. The 2020 JAC Refine S3 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116 PS, a maximum power of 85 kW, and a maximum torque of 150 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've previously disassembled the JAC Refine S3's bumper myself, and the process isn't too difficult but requires patience. First, prepare the necessary tools: a Phillips screwdriver, 10mm socket, and plastic pry bar are essential. Start by removing several screws from the front wheel arch, carefully prying open the clips on the wheel arch liner. Then open the hood and remove the screws on the cover above the grille; there are also some hidden screws underneath that need to be loosened with a socket. After removing the screws, the key step is separating the bumper clips—use the pry bar to gently release them from the wheel arch area, stopping when you hear a click sound, and avoid pulling forcefully. It's recommended to have two people for this operation: one to support the bumper to prevent it from falling and scratching the paint. Finally, remember to unplug the fog light connector to completely detach the bumper.
My friend asked me how to remove the Jianghuai Refine S3 bumper, and I usually recommend tackling it in sections. Start from the undercarriage: use a jack to lift the front wheels for easier access, then remove the six cross-head screws securing the undercarriage guard. For the engine compartment, focus on the grille—removing four screws from the radiator frame will allow you to detach the grille trim. The side mounting points are in the wheel arches; you'll need to lie under the car to reach the three screws here. The trickiest part is releasing the clips: insert a flat pry tool into the bumper gap and sequentially pop open the clips from the wheel arch toward the fender. Pay special attention to the fragile clips around the headlights, as these are prone to breaking during the process.
