it's pretty straight foward, pull the headlights, remove the screws that hold the the two vertical post the the header panel, then pull the fender liner out slightly to gain acess to the two nuts that secure the bumper to the side of the car. underneath there may be a few plastic push-pins.

i did it by myself, but it's best to have an extra set of hands to help lower it

Not if you are careful and don't break them.

The two right under the hood next to the grille, you need to be careful when you're pushing and pulling those around. They can break very easily if you're no watching what you're doing. Also on the sides of the bumper right under the fender dont there are 2 bolts on each side. When you go to put it back on do not over-tighten them at all as they will break all and you will have a slight problem.

a 12 mm gear wrench will work good for the nuts that are in the fenderliner

whenever i remove push pins, u usually just replace them because they are very cheap.
