Default Fix sonar question

This is a sonar sensor question on my 2004 LS430. Somebody hit my bumper and pushed in my far left sonar sensor. Is there any way to replace the sensor without taking off the bumper cover?

Thanks.

Which bumper? If front - it is possible if you have agile hands. Rear - almost impossible without taking cover off.

It is the rear bumper. I took it off once before. I am not looking forward to removing it again.

Looks like I will need to replace the rear outer two sonar sensors. Does anyone know the model number I need to buy? Also, does anyone know of a good place to buy the sonar sensors?

Thanks,
John

Sewellparts.... I bought one recently from them. There is also a clublexus discount when you sign up for an account well worth it.
