Bumper Removal
Hi guys!
I am trying to get the resonator off to install the Icebox.
I ve got all the clips, screw, etc off and I basically got 3/4 of the bumper off (those hooks from the 2 side (from the fender) off and the pessanger side (under headlight) off), but i just can't those honks off the driver side headlight.
Anybody has any tips? I tried to pull hard, but I afraid i will break the bumper
Any help is appreciated guys!
Thanks

I assume you mean honks = hooks
Are you talking 04/05 or 06 TSX?
If you want to get the full details for an 04/05, go to HandA-accessories.com and check out the instructions for the Fog Light installation.

I am talking about a 2005 TSX.
And yes i followed the fog light installation manual, but i just cannot get those hooks off under the driver side's headlight.

I successfully took the bumper off..it was actually quite easy
But i could not get the bolt off the resonator with my current tools, so I will probably get a ratchet to help remove them
Would something like this help? Cause the bolt is incredibly tight
or this?

^^Yes, a set of sockets (Automotive Kit) and a couple of extensions will pay off. You don't need to worry about US (Standard) sockets unless you intend to work on other cars.
What ended up being the solution to getting your bumper off?

whew, i just converted my Injen CAI into SR. took off the front bumper to do so and was much easier after getting the bumper off when compared to wheel-well way. Advice to future installers of the Injen Intake; go SR, the HP gains are about the same, you get more torque lower end, plus you can leave the resonator in (which is by far the hardest piece of hardware to get out of the car, not to mention put back in)
