I want to push out a dent in the rear plastic bumper but I have to take it off first.

depending if its plastic you can remove the dent using a heat gun and a tap around the bump usually pop out. removing the bumper there are screws on the sides behind the wheel arch covers and 4 bolts around 1 foot away from the corners, if your model has sensors in the bumper they will need to be discounted. also any other wires that are they before you pull off the bumper.

if it is memory lets just say plastic try a blow dryer at the dent dont let it get to hot an than try to push it back out may just pop back out ...if fiberglass well Body shop here we come unless ya want to learn how

Take the bumper off you'll need a heat gun to heat it up but not hot enough to melt the paint. And it should come out by pushing easy.

Most dents can be popped or tapped back out, provided it has not crumpled or creased the metal.

you have to take the whole bumper off and the bolt the u see holding it on the re-bar and bumper cover should come off

These vans have a styrofoam bumper wrapped in semi-rigid plastic. When you dented the bumper you probably dented the styrofoam as well, so depending on how deep the dent is you may not be able to bring it back to normal.

The surest way to fix the dent would be to remove the bumper by unbolting it, then taking out the styrofoam and pushing out the dent.

you can heat the bumper heat gun ( you can rent one i think?)
this will soft the bumper so you push it out easily on the car

1. inside your trunk remove small back clips in trim panel
2. remove tail lamp four 8mm nut perside unplug wires
3. remove black clips under tail lamps ( flat head screwdriver to pull center of the clip up slowly then remove the hole clip)
4. three if the some clips are bottom if the bumper
5. three or four 10mm nuts in side the quarter panel on the right and left side
6.four s shape clips are top bumper that will pull loose
7. with some help slide bumper by pulling it off it
8. when you reinstall the bumper you may need to tape the strophe reinforcement in place

is it a rubber bumper? use suction cups, thats what dent specialist use instead of takin off the entire bumper. use a winshield dashboard suction cup for example. Just be creative...

you would need to heat it up from behind to remove the dent and the rubbing compound should work as long as it hasnt penetrated your paint layer
