Time to remove my front bumper to clean debris out of the radiators, and I'm wondering where to put the jack stands.
I've done a search, but didn't see anything about getting just the front of the car up. I know where the jacking points are, but where can I place the jack stands? Note that I'm going to remove both front wheels, so resting the tires on some wood is not an option.
It's an '03 C2. Thanks!
I also have a 03 C2!
There's a jackpoint just rear of both front tires, and another just forward of the rear tires.
Place the jack at the REAR jack points and jack it up enough to put jack stands on the front points. (It works cuz our cars chassis are so stiff)
i want to get around to doing this...have owned the car for 6 months....haven't driven it all winter...looking to do some basic work and get familiar with the car
Got the bumper off without too much trouble.
One complication that I didn't see on youtube vids: some electronic mechanism attached to the bumper. See pics. Can somebody tell me what this is?
And, how do I remove the air duct on that side, given that the wires pass through that grommet?
socket in other pic attaches to this object mounted on the bumper
Do what with this so I can remove air duct?
Here's the driver's side. Is it enough to just get all the debris out of there, or should I take a tooth brush to the fins? Some other way to clean it?
And if somebody knows how to get the temp sensor wiring through the passenger air duct, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks everybody. Here are after pics of the driver's side. The passenger side had even more debris.
Next I'm gonna handle the magnetic license plate adapter...
