Default Help with Honda CRV

Does anyone know how to remove the front bumper and fenders on a 2000 Honda CRV?

Or point me to a good honda forum where I can find this out? Thanks.

Pull out a little too far at one of NYC's stoplights.

No, seriously.......any Honda dealer should be able to order you a shop manual for it.

LOL. Naah, my friend was driving around in her garage with one contact lense on and while parking, rammed a concrete pillar. She damaged the passenger fender and ripped the bumper. Looks very superficial. I told her if she were able to source the parts, I'd help fix the car. I underestimated her resourcefulness as she tells me she ordered the bumper and is having a painted fender delivered. So I was looking for simple instructions on removing the fender and bumper. (yes, she's a hottie and i'm a sucker... but she's also a good friend of mine). I was able to do this exact same repair on my girlfriend's Rav4 (what's with chicks and stationary objects?) just a heads up on what to expect is always appreciated. At the very least i'll just ask her to buy a Chilton's or something.

Used to be a VERY active site at 4x44u, but it seems to have gone to that great forum in the sky. Had forums for every 4X4 vehicle on the planet, but it was so large it was difficult to moderate and had regular bouts with spammers and haters. Shame, I was a regular over there for years, and it was always filled with helpful folks . . . of course that's BL (Before Lexus) I know a lot of those people went to Edmunds. Here's their new link: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ef026bb/

there should be about 8 clips around the bumper holding it in. If it has fog lights, remove those first. If the bumper support didn't crush, the new one should pop on with a bit of wiggling. You should order the clips brand new, since they dont cost that much and it's easier to rip out old ones than carefully remove them.
